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.

Re: really rough first draft of release announcement

Great announcement Bruce, just a few comments though.

Yes, I like it too. Please keep it in.

I counted 331 last time :-) (Perhaps I included non-free+contrib, I don't
know exactly.)

Anyways, perhaps we should mention a few technical aspects, too. Here's
what comes right into my mind:

  - shadow passwd
  - complete new TeX packages based on teTeX
  - kernel 2.0.30 (or whatever we choose to ship now)
  - bash 2.0

Anything more that's intresting for the announcement?


Thanks,

Chris
