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 2024-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start   | End   |
|+-+---|
| Nomination | Saturday 2024-03-09 | Friday 2024-03-15 |
| Campaign   | Saturday 2024-03-16 | Friday 2024-04-05 |
| Vote   | Saturday 2024-04-06 | Friday 2024-04-19 |

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 athttp://www.debian.org/vote/2024/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2024-03-16.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day 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 2024-03-23.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2024/vote_001

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

I would like to nominate myself as DPL candidate.

Whether our constitution requires a second or not, I'm grateful to people
putting themselves up for the DPL role.

So, I hereby second the 2019 DPL election nomination of each of Joerg
Jaspert and Jonathan Carter.

We have had second-in-charge in the past without a GR, so I suppose that
it would work.

The main fuzzy part is the handling of Debian assets (5.1.10), as

I have been considering that too, and have been planning to submit my
self-nomination as late as possible to give me enough chance to chicken out.

I've also dreaded running against "none of the above" only.

However, I've now decided to stop pussy-footing and will join you in
some friendly competition.

I hereby nominate myself for the 2019 DPL election.

FWIW, I have been a supporter of the idea of having a DPL team/board
for quite some time[1] and while I won't candidate myself this year, I would
be willing to help the next DPL... either through participation in a DPL
board that he would want to setup/experiment, or through advice, or
through (formal or informal) delegation of some subset of the workload,
etc.

Hoping that this will motivate someone to step up. I encourage others
to offer their help as well so that any DPL candidate has a chance to find
a few persons to help them.

[1] I was part of teams proposed by DPL-candidates and I candidated
twice with the idea of setting up a DPL team:

https://www.debian.org/vote/2007/platforms/hertzog

Note that the ideas expressed at that time might no longer be 100%
relevant now and that if I were doing this again today, it would likely
be different.

As far as I have seen Debian expenses, the Debian treasurers are not
always in the loop, but TO treasurers are since they do the paying, so
that would complicate this a bit, but I guess the DPL could forward
relevant mails or we could encourage people to CC the treasurers.

I expect both options are needed simultaneously.

Indeed, I tried to gather data to produce such report last year (early
2018), however few issues arised:
- numbers were far from being accurate
- TOs report their finances at different times in the year in different ways
- On Debian side we did not have a list of expenses/incomes. Expenses,
at least, should now be tracked via RT
- We keep dealing with unexpected issues with TOs.

Overall producing an annual report was quite difficult if we want it
to be accurate. Producing some rough numbers should be doable.
So, instead producing annual reports, I was thinking it'd be easier to
produce monthly updates in DPL report about which expenses have been
approved (and the amount).
If TO are able to tell use the monthly incomes, then we could add them
to the report as well.

Since Debian Treasurer team exists we have not been very good
communicating with community and there seems to be a bit of confusion,
so I'll get Debian Treasurer update to d-d-a in the following months.
However, let's get back on-topic and no worry about finances now but
find a good leader to drive the project for the following term.

So, thinking a bit more about that, and using
https://www.debian.org/intro/organization.en.html as a basis, a split
that could maybe work is:

1/ a deputy DPL in charge of overseeing the teams that work on the core
business of Debian (producing the distribution), and dealing with the
questions in that area. That includes monitoring the teams and detecting
inter-team issues, ensuring that each team is properly staffed, etc. So
it's the subset of #0 and #1 that deals with that area.  Teams covered:
FTP Archive, Backports, Release, CD Images, wanna-build, buildd, ports,
security, LTS, Policy, ... and probably the interactions with the Technical
Committee
[ that role covers a lot of things, but is not that hard because most of
those teams are pretty functional ]

2/ a deputy DPL in charge of social/people stuff.
Teams covered: DAM, Anti-Harassment, Keyring, data protection, Outreach,
NM, ...
[ that role is difficult for the obvious reasons ]

3/ a deputy DPL in charge of legal and financial matters.
Teams covered: Treasurer, Trademark, interactions with TOs and
organizations offering legal advice to Debian, approving expenses
[ that role is difficult because those teams are generally understaffed ]

4/ a deputy DPL in charge of Debian infrastructure
Teams covered: DSA, mirrors, maybe QA, Salsa, listmasters, ...
[ that role is quite easy because those teams are pretty functional ]

5/ a deputy DPL in charge of publicity and events [I'm not entirely sure
about that merge]
Teams covered: Publicity, Debconf Committee, Events, sprints
organization, etc.

6/ a DPL that coordinates this team, does the front desk work, and
garbage-collects the tasks that don't fit easily in one of those areas.

Well it could be handled by a team, and to some extend it's already the
case (with the team being DPL + A-H + DAM. A setting, for example, could
be a lead negociator for each case that seeks advice from other members
of the team. But that requires quite a lot of
coordination/synchronization (which is difficult in Debian due to its
distributed/asynchronous nature). Also, in the most difficult cases,
this does not really take away much load from the "lead negociator" that
is still very exposed.

A DPL team would, by design, dillute the authority, and open the door to
play people against each other. I suspect that this would be a problem
in the most difficult cases, but each case is different.

Internally in Debian, it would probably be possible to identify specific
areas of expenses (sprints, BSPs, travel to other events, DSA
infrastructure, other hardware, DebConf) and delegate approval in each
of those areas to a specific person. 5.1.10 might be a small issue, but
I don't think that we should feel constrained by the constitution if
what we are trying to achieve makes sense.

Our TOs[1] each have their own bylaws, and a review would be needed to
understand if delegating approval works for them. But surely that could
be solved. (As an example, for Debian France, the "règlement
intérieur"[2] requires the DPL to make the decisions).

Another schema could be to have a two-phases approval, with the
Treasurer team reviewing the requests and giving a first ACK, and the
DPL giving a second ACK. That could be easily organized using a ticket
system such as RT.

We also already have a system in place to simplify expenses made by
DSA[3].

Yeah, but it's not very useful, because it's really far from providing
an annual breakdown such as:

Income
  Donations
Individuals
Companies
Expenses
  Sprints
  BSPs
  DebConf
  ...

One thing I realized quite late during my terms was that there are
actually two possible strategies here.

The first one is to trust TOs, request detailed accounting from them,
and then aggregate that to build a report. The problem with that is that
TOs have different QoS, and not all of them are able (AFAIK) to provide
sufficiently detailed information.

The second one (which requires more work on the Debian side) is to do
our own double-accounting, track all expenses, and track how they are
taken into account by TOs. Then for expenses the annual report could be
generated only from Debian data. Of course, there's still a problem with
income when it goes directly to the TO (e.g. donations using credit card
to SPI).

Ideally, the Treasurer team would do all the work of tracking expenses,
income, and generating such reports.

I would strongly consider offering help to a DPL team structured this
way and chartered with offloading as many of the current delegations
plus the financial, spokesperson, conflict resolution and front desk
responsibilities from the DPL role as reasonable, including through
additional votes within the year.

It doesn't.  I wanted to do something like that a few years ago but it
wasn't possible because we couldn't get the needed data from SPI at

Some of the TOs have annual reports, the SPI one includes some details
of Debian & DebConf money at SPI, including income, expenses and
balance.

I figure one covering all of Debian's finances would have to come from

I think so.

However, I suspect this would not feel like a significant reduction in

How much of the DPL's financial role can be delegated?
I understand that for example absent instructions otherwise the DPL is
our expendature approval point for SPI (and presumably the other trusted
organizations).

Would the governing procedures/bilaws/whatever of our trusted
organizations permit a DPL to delegate some or all of this?

To be clear, I think a DPL would have to be careful of this and for
example arrange things so they were ultimately accountable for Debian
assets.
I'm just curious about the procedural limitations on the DPL from our

Re: Debian Project Leader Elections 2019: Call for nominations

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

Disclaimer: I was the DPL between 2013 and 2015. My recollection of that
time might not be entirely correct, and Debian might have changed quite
a bit since then. I must admit that I haven't followed Debian closely
enough to know some details!

(And I hope that other former DPLs will post their own views)

So, let's try to describe how I see the DPL's various roles and
responsibilities, and also how those could be transformed (in the
"Debian without a DPL" scenario, or in the "Debian with a DPL-team").

Responsibility #0: Keep Debian fun and functional
-
First, I think that the most important responsibility for the DPL is to
make sure that Debian remains fun and functional. That requires making
sure that the most important teams are functional (by actively
monitoring them, talking to people, etc.) and by making sure that all
important areas of responsibility are covered. The
"monitoring/detection" part of it is mostly an invisible task, but it
takes a lot of time (mostly reading stuff, talking to people, etc.) When
I was the DPL, I think I had some kind of "Debian health checklist", and
also custom munin plugins to monitor specific parts of the project (like
various queues).

The "monitoring/detection" part can easily be distributed. The most
basic way to contribute to that is to complain to the DPL about
something that looks broken, to ensure that the DPL is aware of it.

But then, there's the "fixing" part.

Technical problems (or problems that are quite technical) are usually
not the DPL problem, and are covered by the Technical Committee, which
has been functional for quite some time. So that's easy (for the DPL).

What remains are mostly "people issues". Again, the Anti-harassment team
covers some of them, but not all them (and, this is still a shared
responsibility between A-H and the DPL). DAM covers some other cases.
What's mainly left for the DPL alone is core teams that become
dysfunctional because of MIA members or bad atmosphere or ...
Those issues are very time-consuming and very difficult, and very
damaging for the project.

The DPL's toolset for those issues is: social/communication/negociation
skills, the authority associated to the position, and the nuclear weapon
(delegations).

Delegations are just the tip of the iceberg. And most of the time,
updating delegations is very easy: a functional team comes to the DPL
and says "A is not active anymore and would like to leave the team. And
we recruited B and C." You review the current delegation's description
of roles and responsibility (which was probably written very well by a
former DPL), maybe discuss some adjustments with the team, and you are
done.

Making new delegations is a bit harder, but you have to to-be-delegated
team to work with you. The hard part is generally to understand what
should be the exact (delegated) powers of the team, to make it fit
properly within Debian. This is usually quite subtle, and where the
problems arise later on.


The "fixing" part is hard to distribute for the difficult cases, and
would require a DPL team that works very closely together. I doubt that
it would work with a board of individually elected people, for example.
What could work is a clear leader for the DPL team that would "delegate"
a case to another team member.

Also, without the DPL as a safeguard, I don't know what would happen.
Debian has been getting more and more "professional", and most teams
have been able to take care of themselves for a long time now (or maybe
the DPLs have gotten better at detecting problems earlier ;) ).
So it's likely that Debian would survive for quite some time. But the
fact of not having any last resort solution is a bit scary.


Responsibility #1: Garbage collection
-
The constitution says that the DPL may "Make any decision for whom noone
else has responsibility." (5.1.4). It means that the DPL ends up being
in charge of various tasks. They are often in relation with the "outside
world", because we are pretty good at identifying recurring issues
inside Debian, and creating teams to address them.

Something closely in relation is the "point of contact" role. We have
the press team (the publicity team nowadays) that deals with press
inquiries, but the DPL is usually the point of contact for the outside
world, especially for non-technical stuff.

For simple inquiries, we could imagine sharing the load by having a
frontdesk that receives

From my reading of the DPL bits, and if I remember correctly, there are
a few of what seems to be separate areas:

- delegations
- finances (approving BSPs, hardware, sponsoring people with visas,
  etc.)
- dealing with external organisations (although not sure exactly what,
  but press/articles, discussions about copyrights sometimes, maybe
  conferences?, etc.)
- dealing with internal escalations/de-escalating issues

Now, I don't follow debian lists very consistently, but I try to read
the bits and what surprised me was the reasonable consistency of at
least these areas over the past ~year or so I restarted keeping up with
things.

If this is the case, then I don't see how, for example, the first two
areas couldn't be delegated to some committees, maybe the third one as
well, and only keep the DPL role as ultimate arbiter/deadlock breaker.

Apologies if I'm wildly off-track, but that's the pattern that I saw in
the notes :)

Maybe this is the time to try and reduce the workload? The DPL has quite
a workload set by the constitution, but seems to do quite a lot of other
stuff that maybe could be delegated further?

Hah! I considered that exact thing. Not only the great
documentation/communication but also the nature of the work itself, and
that's not even having a full appreciation of the stress/time that goes

Whilst it would have been clear to any serious potential candidate
already, for the sake of clarity I will not be looking to extend my
term in this year's DPL elections.

This is for a number of wide-ranging and varied reasons — both related
to Debian and many entirely personal — that are likely too voluminous
and inappropriate to detail here at this time.

I would consider it a kindness if Developers ceased to speculate on my
motivations for not electing to run for a third consecutive term; most

You began your message commenting that people had contacted you encouraging
you to run for DPL.  These people are either ignorant of, or indifferent to,
Debian's constitutional framework.

Rather than correcting any possible misunderstandings on the part of these
individuals regarding your eligibility to stand for office, you are obliging
them by posting a platform to this public mailing list that implies that you
are a candidate for DPL, and directly misrepresents yourself as being a
Debian Developer, which is not a status that you hold.

You are clearly acting in bad faith.  If I were to guess at your motives, I
would presume you are playing to an audience of people who are not members
of the Debian Project, in order to bring pressure to bear on the project on
your behalf.

But whether that is your motivation or not, it is unconstructive to engage
in the substance of a platform that has been posted in bad faith.

While the idea of going leaderless may sound good, the project isn't
setup for that. There is a whole bunch of things going via the leader
that is either hard to delegate or impossible to do so. It would need
quite a bunch of changes to the constitution to enable that.

§5.2.4 to the rescue. (Something I also missed earlier).

For three weeks after that no more candidates may be nominated;
candidates should use this time for campaigning and discussion. If there
are no candidates at the end of the nomination period then the
nomination period is extended for an additional week, repeatedly if

We seem to have reached the end of the nominations period with no Debian
developers stepping forward to nominate themselves.  As has been
discussed, the nomination in
 is not
valid because the person nominating themselves is not a developer.

In fairness, I'd recommend that the nominations period be extended for
some explicit time.  I think that we want to have a known window for new
nominations rather than say starting the campaigning as soon as someone
nominates themselves.

Abstract:

Leading and not managing.  Building people up, not micro-managing them.


My platform:

Inspired by various apologies (stolen generation, Alan Turing, etc),
using the DPL role to formally apologize to everybody who has been
subject to defamation, disparaging comments, bullying or bastardization
by any leadership figure in the Debian organization, regardless of
whether such statements were made through a public list, debian-private
or personal emails.

Formally retracting and voiding those defamatory statements made by
the present and past leaders of the project

No more bastardization of volunteers with demotions and other
condescending, degrading and generally abusive communications

Shutting down the debian-private mailing list

Restoring the creditworthiness of the project, looking into all
reports of unpaid reimbursements, starting with RT ticket #7180 which
FFIS has failed to answer questions about.

Requiring all trust organizations to provide a brief machine-readable
financial summary, similar to the VAT returns produced by European
companies, every 3 months.  Any trust organization who can't do this may
be suspended (or demoted?  Oops, I ruled out demotions already)

Holding a peace summit for all disaffected members of the community.
Geneva and Dublin are potential locations but we could also follow the
US President's example and go to Hanoi, we will probably achieve more
there too.

Given the recent statements people have made in their official
capacities denouncing human rights principles, I would make an official
but rather abstract statement that the project embraces human rights
principles and seek input from the wider community and other
organizations about how to implement this commitment in practice.  This
will hopefully lead to an upgrade of the code of conduct with a more
balanced code that includes both rights and obligations, serving the
needs of all those with an interest in these topics.

Disbanding the anti-harassment team.  Creating a "pro-understanding"
team, starting over from scratch with a focus on welfare, mediation,
conflict resolution, building people up instead of tearing them down.
No more snitching and witch hunts.  This may involve an elected welfare
officer who is independent of the DPL.

Establishing a membership committee, elected by proportional
representation, with authority over DAM and clearer procedures and
criteria to ensure no member is trampled on or subjected to blackmail
ever again.

Migrating official communications of the project to platforms that are
resistant to censorship and gatekeepers.  Let's stop relying on Planet
Debian and lists.debian.org.  Get an RTL-SDR dongle and tune in to HB9FZT

Closing the lea...@debian.org email address, delegating all remaining
tasks of the DPL and turning it into a role that any member of the
community could see themselves doing.  Organizing an executive committee
meeting once every 2 weeks to make decisions.  It is interesting to note
that Switzerland is run this way, most people holding public office have
to keep their day job.

Resisting the urge to make official statements on Brexit from the
role of leader@.  Tusk has said it all anyway: there is a special place
in hell for the Brexiteers without a plan.  My final word on this issue:
if the UK doesn't want to be in the EU, give their place to
Albania+Kosovo then stop talking about Brexit and bring on the Ashes.

Split the DPL role between a chairperson and a CEO role, the
chairperson would facilitate the executive meetings while the CEO would
be a continuation of the DPL, hands-on.  If somebody has a conflict with
one of these roles, they would be able to speak to the person in the
other role.

Making changes that will aim to increase the ratio of women in Debian
to 3% within 12 months.  One idea is to appoint a couple of
female developers as Deputy DPL and asking them to handle all the
invitations to speak at events.  At least one event every month for
listening to women, not quite Women's MiniDebConf, less formal and with
more voices.  Looking for opportunities for women from other
organizations, outside the free software monoculture, to make a
contribution and give mentorship.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2019: Call for nominations

[Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx]

[-- The following data is signed --]

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 2019-04-17. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start | End |
|+---+-|
| Nomination | Sunday 2019-03-03 | Saturday 2019-03-09 |
| Campaign   | Sunday 2019-03-10 | Saturday 2019-03-30 |
| Vote   | Sunday 2019-03-31 | Saturday 2019-04-13 |

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/2019/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2019-03-10.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day 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 2019-03-17.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_001

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

Debian Project Leader Elections 2016: last call for votes

[Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx]

Hi,

This is the last call for votes for the 2016 DPL election.  There 
are about 30 hour left to vote at the time of this writing.

 Voting period starts  2016-04-03 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2016-04-16 23:59:59 UTC

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.

The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2016/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2016".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


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:

  leader2...@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: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

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

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 2016: second call for votes [corrected]

[Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx]

Hi,

This is the second call for votes, now with a correct ballot.

 Voting period starts  2016-04-03 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2016-04-16 23:59:59 UTC

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 secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2016/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2016".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


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:

  leader2...@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: leader2...@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.

Just for avoidance of doubt, I do /not/ intend on re-standing for my
post. I would encourage any candidates to put themselves forward.

Hi,

We might have a small procedural problem here: AFAIK the term of
the Secretary expired on 2016-02-19[1], and the Secretary was not
re-appointed (secretary terms last one year according to the
constitution, see 7.2).

Just to be on the safe side, we probably should have the DPL
quickly re-appoint the Secretary.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2016: Call for nominations

[Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx]

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 Friday the 17th of April,
2016.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Sunday, March  6th, 2016 | Saturday, March 12th, 2016 |
| Campaign   | Sunday, March 13th, 2016 | Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 |
| Vote   | Sunday, April  3rd, 2016 | Saturday, April 16th, 2016 |

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/2016/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 13th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day 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/2016/vote_001

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

Re: Debian Project Leader Elections 2015: Call for votes

[Jakub Wilk]

[   ] Choice 1: Mehdi Dogguy
[   ] Choice 1: Gergely Nagy


Heads up: do NOT use this broken ballot.
Apparently devotee isn't (or at least wasn't yesterday) smart enough to 
notice this brokenness and reject the vote; instead, it counts your vote 
incorrectly.

  There are 4 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
  1 and 4. 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 3.
 
 I'm maybe be a little late for this, but at the end of this paragraph,
 you meant ``... or larger than 4'' right ?

Yes.
