Debian Project Leader Elections 2012: Call for nominations


Hi,

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

The new project leader term starts on Tuesday the 17th of April,
2012.  The time line looks like:

| Period     | Start                    | End                        |
|------------+--------------------------+----------------------------|
| Nomination | Sunday, March  4th, 2012 | Saturday, March 10th, 2012 |
| Campaign   | Sunday, March 11th, 2012 | Saturday, March 31st, 2012 |
| Vote       | Sunday, April  1st, 2012 | Saturday, April 14th, 2012 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2012/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 11th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

Lets make this more interesting than the past election has been!

I hereby nominate myself as a prospective DPL. This time, there is
no-one forcing my hand, and I will do my utmost to make this year's
campaign interesting, and the vote a close one.

Pointing to an Italian page really doesn't help for most of us.  I
understand it means "Never two without three".

Gergely Nagy: Disappearing?

Hi,

As your platfrom indicates, you have disappeared from the Debian
project before.  Some DPLs started with alot of energy, but somewhat
faded during their term and then disappeared.  Do you think there
is a chance of this happening to you?

Kurt

PS: I commited the platform some time ago, it takes some time
before the webpages are re-generated and mirrored.

No, there is no chance of that happening again, otherwise I wouldn't run
for DPL. All of the issues that built up and comulated in my
disappearance are gone, and ain't coming back.

A lot has changed in the past few years: I learned how to properly
manage my time and energies, so that I won't burn out, for example.
