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

I didn't want to get us into a tussle with Troll Tech. KDE can disklike
us, but Troll can enjoin or sue us.

The consensus of the developers was to support GNOME instead of funding
a Qt look-alike. Go back and read the list archive.

I told Martin that if KDE committs to give _all_ of the donatiions from
the CD to FSF's "FreeQt" project, then we will too, and we'll give GNOME
$1000 from other funds so that they are not disappointed.

My concern is that KDE's committment to getting away from Qt is not
sufficient. If they go for the above, that would change my mind. I
don't really think it is likely.

	Thanks
