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

That's wrong! Debian is an *add on* to the KDE CD. KDE is not based
on Debian in any way.

Please read the announcement for GNOME. It *is* a new desktop
environment. And therefor the result will be able to replace KDE ...

Sure, but we *say* we will use the money we get from one project to
support a replacement project. That's not nice at all. Instead we
should say that we'll remove the non-free character from KDE by
removing the need for Qt. Therefor we should say, that we support the
development of a free Qt. The focus should be on the lib and not on
the desctop environment.

I hope that we're able to express ourselves in a way, where nobody in
the more or less free software world is feeling insulted.
