The Debian Project has published the results of its election of the new Debian Project Leader (DPL). Lucas Nussbaum was voted the new DPL after Stefano Zacchiroli, who has led the Debian community for three consecutive years, didn’t stand for re-election. Nussbaum was selected from three nominees – the other two being Gergely Nagy and [...]

Hi! Given I’m determined to keep a monthly cadence of DPL “bits”, I thought it would be a good idea to try to send them near the beginning of each month, even if that meant sending first bits that only cover my first 13 days as the Debian Project Leader.

Dear Project Members,”Now that I have your attention, I would like to make the following delegations:” … nah, scrap that. In my last day in office I first of all owe you a report of DPL activities for the last reporting period of this term, i.e. March 8th until today. Here it is!

Hi, The winner of the election is Lucas Nussbaum.

Hi, The candidates made rebuttals and they are now available as part of their platform at: http://www.debian.org/vote/2013/vote_001 Kurt Roeckx Debian Project Secretary

Dear project members, here’s another report of DPL activities, this time for a period longer than usual (February + 1st week of March), so that the next one will be at the very end of the current DPL term.

[ insert here: "I've been to FOSDEM", "I got a nasty flu", and other $lame_excuses for the delay in sending out this report ] Dear Project Members, here’s the monthly DPL activity report, this time for January 2013.

Dear Project Members, it’s that time of the year again, Project Secretary appointment is about to expire, on February 19th. But fear no more, because we have a volunteer.

Dear Project Members, happy new year! Here goes another report of DPL activities, this time for December 2012. This issue of the DPL-monthly is skinnier than usual: during the past month I’ve been struck by the catastrophe also known as “family holiday season”, enjoying a solid 10 day break from computer-related activities.

Dear Project Members, here is another (delayed) monthly report of DPL activities, this time for November 2012.

Dear Project Members, another month, another periodic report of DPL-ish activities, this time for October 2012.

Dear project members, 6 years after the last one, it’s time to update the delegation for the Debian Policy Editors, that is the team of delegates responsible for guiding the policy change process on the -policy list.

Dear Developers, there are a couple of changes in the New Members Front Desk team, that I’d like to announce:

Dear project members, as anticipated in the team sprint report [1], the FTP master team is changing:

Heya, here is the periodic report of DPL activities, this time related to September 2012 (posted here with some delay, as I’ve been traveling oversea on behalf of Debian for the past few days).

Dear project members, August has been a month with a good deal of vacations for many of us, including yours truly. Therefore the monthly report of DPL activities will be briefer than usual. Which is good, as it’ll leave all my readers more time to do NMUs and fix RC bugs!

If you’ve ever stumbled upon http://www.debian.org/trademark , you might be aware that, as a project, we’ve been working on a proper trademark policy since quite a while.

I think we should either get Debian in FSF [free-distros list][1], or document (from our POV) why Debian is not there. I’m looking for Debian volunteers interested in the topic and willing to participate in a joint Debian / FSF team that will work toward that goal without prejudices

Howdy from DebConf12. It’s hot, but it’s also time to bother you again with a (not so) brief DPL activity report, this time for June 2012.

The more interesting bits this month include a controversy over duplication between the Debian Multimedia archive and Debian proper. Stefano suggests that what package belongs where be worked out, or that Debian Multimedia shed its Debian name and move on.

Dear project members, here’s the periodic report of what has happened in DPL land, this time during May 2012. It’s briefer than usual, as this year I’ve enjoyed the lovely French habit of frequent holidays during the month of May.

Dear project members, last bits of the past DPL term and first bits of the current term, all in one. Here is a report of what has happened in DPL land last April.

Dear project members, here is my monthly DPL activity report, this time for last March. It is delayed by a couple of weeks because, myself being both incumbent and candidate DPL, I preferred not to use d-d-a during the voting period unless really needed. Apologies for the delay (or the unneeded paranoia, you name it).

In accordance with its constitution [1], the Debian Project has just reelected Stefano Zacchiroli for a third year as Debian Project Leader. More than 80% of voters put him as their first choice (or equal first) on their ballot papers. This is the first time in the history of the project that a candidate wins [...]

Hi, The winner of the election is Stefano Zacchiroli. His new term will start on April 17th, 2012.

Hi, This is the second call for votes for the Debian Project Leader Elections 2012.

Hi, This is the first call for votes for the Debian Project Leader Elections 2012.

After a year when there was just a single candidate, the incumbent, standing for the post, 2012 will see three developers slug it out for the post of leader of the Debian GNU/Linux Project.

Dear Developers, the Press Team is changing! Francesca Ciceri and Neil McGovern have accepted the promotion from assistants to press officers. At the same time, Alexander Reichle-Schmehl and Meike Reichle have decided to step down from the team, after many years of tireless contributions.
