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: Debian GNU/Linux Logo chosen

According to the votes cast on fatman, there were *many* logos more well-liked 
then the one you chose.   I believe this decision would have been more 
appropriately made by the Debian Constitutional voters (those ok for the 
Project Leader vote).  I would suggest a panel of the top five logos from the 
fatman page which fill our requirements (i.e. being trademarkable, wipe out 
all those that are to close to Tux).  I would also suggest we include your 
selection as one of the 5 choices, after all, you are currently the project 
leader.  I think hiring a commercial artist would be a mistake since we have 
so many good submissions already.

What do you think, guys?  Is this worth a vote?  (An official, once and for 
all, vote?)
