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.

Did anyone see my message this morning besides Rob and Alex.  I agree, we
should make a "non-free" CD.  I have many of the resources that are
needed, such as good net access (NRL has multiple OC3 going out),
computers with big hard drives (pentiums, ppros, maybe p2's).  I just need
help for some of the other things.  Rob got me going on how to get mirror
working, Alex voluntered to look through the copyrights in non-free.

However, their are certain things that have to be clarified.  If we go
through this, what will its relationship with Debian be.  i.e.  It makes
sense for bugs to be filed to the bug system for packages normally in
contrib/non-free.  However, what about if programs like gated get added.
Also, will we be able to use the Debian mirrors.  

I don't want this to be a break off from Debian, more as an unofficial act
by a maintainer, who thinks we shouldn't put any of the "non-free" stuff
on the CDs, but thinks that users should have easy access to them in .deb
format.
