Debian Project Leader Elections

Hi,

        According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
 leader elections should begin "nine weeks before the leadership post
 becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

	The new project leader term starts on April 17th, and that
 sets the time line:
 Nomination period:  Feb 7th  00:00:01 UTC -- Feb 28th 00:00:00 UTC
 Campaigning period: Feb 28th 00:00:01 UTC -- Mar 21st 00:00:00 UTC
   Voting period:    Mar 21st 00:00:01 UTC -- Apr 11th 00:00:00 UTC

        Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution,
 but, just to review: there's a three week period when interested
 developers nominate themselves, followed by a three week period with
 no nominations [intended for campaigning], followed by three weeks
 for the election itself.

        I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates,
 and publish them on a known location (somewhere under
 www.debian.org/vote) at the end of the nomination period and the
 beginning of the campaign.

        I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
 HTML/SGML, to the secretary at least a couple of days before the
 publication date.

        This should give the candidates enough time to craft their
 platforms, I should think. The format of the web page is open to
 discussion, but I suggest there be at least three sections:

I am happy to volunteer to either chair the debate or to be a panelist
for it.

It isn't clear to me whether the chair must be a developer or not.  I'm
in NM at the moment, so if you require a developer for the chair, then
I'll just volunteer to be a panelist, should the chair think me suitable :)

In the '80's, didn't some women's group handle the presidential debates?  And,
since they were ousted, haven't they gone down hill?

Maybe this would be good.

ps: I don't mean any offence by the above, so please don't take any.

So, the fact that mutt took ages to show that message (saying it checked
a signature) and that it shows

gpg: Signature made ma  7. helmikuuta 2005 03:15:25 EET using DSA key ID 5D58893B
gpg: tee --check-trustdb, kiitos
gpg: Good signature from "Matthew Garrett <mjg59 <at> srcf.ucam.org>"
gpg: VAROITUS: Tätä avainta ei ole varmennettu luotettavalla allekirjoituksella!
gpg:          Mikään ei takaa sitä, että allekirjoitus todella kuuluu haltijalleen.
Ensisijaisen avaimen sormenjälki: 0C84 B078 CE31 6C2D 15E1  F1FB EC79 2FF2 5D58 893B

is just, what, a diversion?

	Ahá... BUSTED to me! :o))

	I mess a lot of things here and didn't check it
properly. Better run out and hide myself. (In fact I should
get some sleep).

Not that my memory's clear or anything, but I think in previous years
we've had non-developers chairing the debate, and I don't see a good
reason to require the chair to be a developer.

Cheers,

Will Branden Robinson run for DPL again this year?

Will Branden run for DPL in 2005?

I've been asked this question many times in IRC over the past several
weeeks (and a few times in email), and I don't want to get impatient with
people for asking it again, so I've decided to write a webpage to document
my answer in detail.

You can read it at:

http://people.debian.org/~branden/dpl/to_run_or_not_to_run_in_2005.html

The short answer is: it's up to you.  :)
