The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Times report on Linux: should we respond?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

First of all, a bit of background. For those of you who don't know, The
Times is a fairly well-respected British newspaper, and its technology
magazine, Innovations, recently published a very damning article about
Linux, based on last month's PCW cover CD, which I believe contained some
version of Red Hat. The text of the article can be found at

http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/Sunday-Times/stiinnsnd01001.html?1129774

but whether this is the full text, I don't know. If I can find somebody
with a copy of the Times, I'll compare them and let you know.

My question is, is it worth responding to this as a project? I personally
found it highly offensive, but I don't really know whether it is worth
responding to, or whether this would just be counter-productive. Your
opinions would be welcomed.

I haven't posted this to the devel or user lists, in case it caused a
storm of flames etc, which we don't want. For all I know, of course, it
could be already on the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups anyway, since I don't
read them, but I didn't think it was worth the risk.

Somewhat miffed,

&E

The people are fading away, as I slip into colours then ten shades of grey;
If I don't last this one tell them when I've gone,
That playing with you was incredible fun.
