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

Please forgive me. Yesterday, my room/appartment was burgled, and
partially due to that I completely missed this party on debian-private.

As the kde project is the direct opponent of gnome (and free 
software), this is an insult to the gnome (and free-software) people. 
At least that is how I feel.

> today i feel a shamed to be a debian developer.

Today I feel ashamed to ever have helped the progress of KDE 
integration into debian[1].

I request the bookstore to apologise ...

Ah, well. Actually, I don't care too much, who gives money to KDE.
Likewise, I assume the non-free camp (KDE and friends) doesn't really
care who gives money to the free-camp (gnome). I gather from 
part-logbooks on debian-private most Debian developers feel the same.



So, I guess I've learned my lesson: never forget to double-lock your
appartment! OK, they stole my second-hand camera, and maybe some (at
most $150) cash, but that can all be replaced. But hell, nothing can
ever replace me missing this party due to that burglary.

I hope you all accept my humble apologies for coming so late 
to your party,

Footnote [1]: Well, I didn't do that much towards KDE integration into
              Debian. At best, I added a few functions/features to menu,
	      and help write the menu-method files. And no, I wasn't
	      serious when I said I felt ashamed to ever have helped
	      the process of KDE integration into Debian. I am not
	      ashamed of that, whoever gives money to KDE. Just like
	      I asume nobody starts feeling shame when someone gives
	      money to Gnome.
