bits from the DPL: the start of the term

cj2003 — Mon, 02 May 2011 17:13:29 +0000

Hi everybody, sorry for the delay [1], it’s about time that I thank you all and recall some practical information about how to use DPL “services”.

First of all: THANKS! I’m flattered by the support and trust in me you
have shown. It’s a honor to be confirmed as Debian Project Leader, as
well as it’s a honor to represent Debian before the Debian community and
the world out there. I’ll try very hard not to disappoint any of you.

What the DPL does and can do for you
————————————

With a bit more knowledge than last year [2], I can now comment about
what the DPL—or at least myself—can and cannot do for you. There is
quite a bit of day to day activity which goes on in the background
(media queries, representing Debian at events, “political” relationships
with other Free Software actors, etc). All that might be relatively
uninteresting to you, but it does happen and strive to keep the DPL pipe
full already.

I’ll do my best to document these activities, as I’ve done last year,
both for transparency and for the curious DD. You can always find a
DD-accessible log of DPL activities at
(and it’s
monthly rotated friends). Logs are updated on a weekly basis, more or
less.

On a monthly basis, I’ll summarize DPL activities since the last update
in a “bits …” mail to d-d-a. As mailing list post are good for
announcements, but not as good for long term retrieval, I’ll keep an
index of those mails at , together
with other pointers to other DPL-related resources.

In addition to the above boring stuff, the DPL is around to “solve
problems” that arises in the project and seem hard to solve by other
means. If you stumble upon a conflict, a blocker you find unjust, or any
other major trouble you’re are at loss with, by all means contact
me. I’ve no magic wand and I cannot promise solutions, but I promise
I’ll look into it and get back to you.

On the topic of how to contact me, please be kind. The recommended and
most reliable way to do so is mailing . Please do _not_
contact me at other personal addresses of mine for DPL-related stuff. By
default I won’t disclose any personal matter [3], but given that
mail is archived, if you want additional guarantees of
confidentiality the recommended way is to still mail and
GPG-encrypt your mail. You can also contact me on IRC (“zack” on
irc.debian.org), but please leave your query instead of contentless
pings [4] if I’m not around. Finally, you can also contact me on
identi.ca [5], where I’m generally happy to discuss DPL-related topics.

Additionally, as DPL, I’ll also push for specific project-wide goals or
sub-projects (that you might have read in my platform [6]) or express my
support (or opposition) to similar goals advanced by others. I even
encourage you to seek my public opinion on specific initiatives, if you
see fit: do not expect me to know all what is going on in Debian and
feel free to ping me. So, I’m sorry, but it seems you’re doomed to hear
quite a bit from me in the 1 year ahead of us *g*.

What you can do for the DPL
—————————

Above all, give feedback. In my experience of last year it’s pretty
difficult to get a grasp of what DDs think of DPL activity. Please let
me know, you can always mail me your feedback about what I’m doing (or
not doing). Right now it’s a particular good moment to do that, as we’re
at the start of a new term with plenty of time to implement improvements
over the previous one.

Additionally, you can volunteer to help me out with specific DPL
tasks. While I believe there is value in having a single person behind
, many tasks can benefit from non-DPL volunteers that take
responsibility of following a specific task or topic. A lot of stuff is
secretarial and easy, but at the same time has the potential to have an
important impact on project activities. Also, volunteering for one such
task could be a nice chance to get to know what the DPL job is
like. That should be of particular interest to you, in case you’re
thinking about nominating yourself as DPL in future elections. If you
are interested in helping out, feel free to mail me. I’ll be happy to
discuss whether there is a specific task that can be delegated to you
(not necessarily in the constitutional sense of the word).

In the same vein, to give more accountability of the DPL agenda and be
more transparent, I’m considering to hold periodic IRC sessions where
people can inquire about the status quo of DPL-related activities. I’m
not yet sure I can guarantee to do that in the long run with a decent
periodicity, but if a number of DPL little helpers volunteer, that would
become *way* more likely (hint hint).

Now let’s all go back to the crowded -devel archives,
Happy hacking.

[1] I’ve gone through a couple of hectic weeks since the election
results: first with some long overdue vacation and then with some
quite important job interviews. During the past weeks I’ve hence
decided to just stay on top of day-to-day DPL business and
urgencies, and to reduce “extras”
[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/04/msg00011.html
[3] OTOH I will generally mention the activity, anonymized, in DPL
activity logs, unless you explicitly ask me not to. I consider doing
that a must for transparency towards the Project, given the DPL is
an elected role

DPL 2011: Final call for votes

cj2003 — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:08:15 +0000

The voting period for the Debian Project Leader election 2011 is almost over. You still have about 31 hours from the time of this writing.

The timeline is:

Voting period starts 00:00:00 UTC on Saturday, April 2nd, 2011
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Friday, April 15th, 2011

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secretary@debian.org.

The details of the candidate platform can be found at:

http://www.debian.org/vote/2011/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
ballot@vote.debian.org
with the subject “leader2011″.

HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

leader2011@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
‘-=-=-=-=-=-’. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote “no, no matter what”, rank “None Of The Above” as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the “None Of The Above”
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
“None Of The Above” choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any — no special consideration is given to the
“None Of The Above” choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2011@vote.debian.org.

Don’t worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (“>”) that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

Debian Project Leader elections: a foregone conclusion

cj2003 — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 19:20:14 +0000

In a post on the debian-vote mailing list, Zacchiroli, also known simply as Zack, says that he believes that an election with only one candidate “is not healthy for democracy”, adding that “I’m open to the possibility of retiring, in order to restart the process and have more than one candidate in the actual election.” More here

Debian Project Leader Elections 2011: Call for nominations

cj2003 — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 17:52:00 +0000

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 Sunday the 17th of April,
2011. The time line looks like:

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/2011/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 12th.

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

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal. I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 19th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:

http://www.debian.org/vote/2011/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:’d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

Debian Project elects Stefano Zacchiroli as next Project Leader

cj2003 — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 16:38:03 +0000

In accordance with its constitution[0] the Debian Project has elected
Stefano Zacchiroli as Debian project leader for the 2010/2011 term.
Stefano has been a Debian Developer since March 2001 and is a long-term contributor to several core services such as Debian’s Package Tracking System and its Quality Assurance Team. Upon his election win he said: “I can’t be more proud of being a member of the Debian project. The number of developers which took part in our democratic election process — as candidates, voters, and campaigning participants — makes me really happy. I’m also a bit scared now, rest assured that I’ll do my best to be up to the expectations of all Debian contributors.”

The outgoing project leader, Steve McIntyre, was first elected in 2008.
After serving for two years, Steve chose not to run for a third term.
Steve congratulates Stefano: “I’ve had a great time working for Debian
as DPL and I’m more than happy to be handing over the reigns to Stefano.
He has excellent ideas and should do a good job for us.” The Debian
project would also like to thank Steve for his great work and constant
commitment to the project.

The candidates for this year’s election were Stefano Zacchiroli, Wouter
Verhelst, Charles Plessy and Margarita Manterola. After a six week
election period the Debian project chose Stefano Zacchiroli to be its
next project leader.

Debian uses the Condorcet voting method for project leader elections.
The detailed election results can be found at the voting page[1].

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

There are 5 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
