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: giving money to gnome

On what evidence do you make this claim?  Have they told you this, or
do you just *think* they'd feel this way?

I'll note that Bruce did mention earlier that when we suggested we'd
put the money into a DFSG-free QT replacement, they liked the idea.
(I liked the idea as well, because there are other QT based programs
like qweb, which, unlike a "desktop", I'd actually *use*...)  Granted,
funding gnome instead is a different proposal, but I'm not sure it's
*that* different, if it means improving gtk enough that qt-based
programs could switch.  

Remember that some amount of the use of QT was clever promotion on
Troll's part -- by appealing to developers' *greed* :-) [remember,
Troll ran a contest with thousand-dollar and higher cash prizes?]  So
I'm not inclined to consider use of QT a totally innocent mistake in
any case...
