schestowitz> Debian, to inform you that the email from Debian (at the bottom) isSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> factually incorrect and may be a deliberate lie.  I also felt it wasSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> disrespectful to Sam.  Based on emails like that, I feel your reportingSep 03 01:39

schestowitz> Sam and ITWire are not at fault, you have been deceived but it isSep 03 01:39

schestowitz> believe necessary.Sep 03 01:39
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:39
schestowitz> I also feel it is important to be careful about accepting accusationsSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> from Debian against any volunteer.  Debian does not have anySep 03 01:39
schestowitz> professional code of ethics or grievance procedures.  They tend to useSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> words like harassment indiscriminately.  For example, they were verySep 03 01:39

schestowitz> Zini, one of the Debian Account Managers.Sep 03 01:39
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:39
schestowitz> It is particularly disturbing because not only is Mr Zini behind theSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> original falsification but he also sends out secret messages like thisSep 03 01:39
schestowitz> lobbying the media to change stories.  He sends these messages privatelySep 03 01:40
schestowitz> to avoid public debate about the issues and his own behavior.Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Specifically, Mr Zini quotes the Debian Project Leader's reference toSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> "first-hand accounts from members of the Debian community".  Yet theSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> first-hand accounts don't exist.Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> These are the real facts about how those words were constructed andSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> ended up in Sam's article:Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> 1. three volunteers gave second-hand accounts from friends without anySep 03 01:40
schestowitz> details, these very scant testimonies are attached for you in full:Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> first-hand-accounts.pdfSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> 2. on various occasions, Enrico Zini sent a summary of thoseSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> testimonies to debian-private, a group of approximately 1,000 DebianSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Developers, where he referred to them as "first-hand accounts", anSep 03 01:40

schestowitz> first-hand-accounts-assertion.pdfSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> 3. The DPL, who is very busy, simply copied these exact words into aSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> public statement or maybe the statement was written for him by ZiniSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> 4. ITWire has published those words "first-hand accounts from members ofSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> the Debian community" and in doing so, inadvertently contributed toSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> inflate the claims against Mr AppelbaumSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> 5. one of the people has clearly informed Zini that it was not aSep 03 01:40

schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Debian has a widespread reputation for technical excellence.  The realSep 03 01:40

schestowitz> circulate smears against people.  In effect, they burn a witch once a year.Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:40
schestowitz> Personally, I am asking you not to publish their attacks against meSep 03 01:40
schestowitz> because I reduced my involvement in Debian during a period when I lostSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> two family members, including my father.  I understand Sam Hartman hasSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> sent you messages contradicting thatSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> I still don't know what is worse, conjuring up rape victims who don'tSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> exist or denying that my father died.  Debian has done both of theseSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> things in their attempts to deceive ITWire.  They have done these thingsSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> with the sole intention of spreading defamation.Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> At least some of the antics remind me of the Theo Theophanous case.  I'mSep 03 01:41

schestowitz> When I saw the "evidence" being presented against Jacob Appelbaum onSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Debian's internal networks, I couldn't help feeling it was the sameSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> story over again.  Many publishers like yourself have been induced toSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> publish Appelbaum accusations from a lynch mob wielding pitch-forks.Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> In the four years that have passed, not one "victim" has been willing toSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> make a police report signed under oath.  Erinn Clark, Jérémy Bobbio, andSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Ximin Luo, attached, have nothing in common with the brave #MeTooSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> victims who came out against Harvey Weinstein and other real abusers: bySep 03 01:41
schestowitz> their own words, they are not victims at all.  The #MeToo movementSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> prompted an avalanche but in the Appelbaum case, the opposite hasSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> happened, the publicity didn't attract anybody willing to make a policeSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> complaint.Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> One-line, second-hand testimonies like this are akin to dragging a rakeSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> through the swamp to see if anything comes up.Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Therefore, the real story here is that organizations like Debian areSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> trading on their reputation to harness the power of the press andSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> destroy lives.  Even if Mr Appelbaum committed a crime, these peopleSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> were not willing to follow the justice procedure like every otherSep 03 01:41
schestowitz> victim, they took justice into their own hands.Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:41
schestowitz> Thanks again for your efforts to cover the issues in the free and openSep 03 01:41

schestowitz> The Zini falsification blog is remaining constant, it appears a lot ofSep 03 01:42
schestowitz> people are sympathetic to AppelbaumSep 03 01:42
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:42
schestowitz> There are some specific reasons I posted it on my own blog, to ensureSep 03 01:42
schestowitz> people trust my analysis and to help other volunteers avoid the sameSep 03 01:42
schestowitz> fate as Appelbaum.Sep 03 01:42
schestowitz> Sep 03 01:42
schestowitz> I also noticed that access to your site is sometimes slow, are there anySep 03 01:42

schestowitz__Won't happen before mass diffusion of GNU/Linux on the desktop. OEMs and politics have secured close ties with MS. It's true that none of the Linux pre-installed machines are cheap. There are no major Linux players to bribe decision makers. On the contrary, MS has got influential seats in the Linux Foundation board, because once again, they've got the bucks.Sep 03 11:06
