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.

another damn good point.

you know, i don't agree with you on everything but on this non-free
issue i agree with you 100%


i think you're doing wonders for Debian & for Linux in general, pushing
initiatives like the Social Contract and the Open Hardware program. good
work!
