-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [ Monday 19 April 2004 18.44 ] | Hi, | | At the midpoint of this vote, there have been 99 unique | voters who have exercised their franchise (the non free GR had 303 | voters by this point) | | manoj | | Voting starts on Sunday, April 11th, 23:59:59 UTC, 2004 | Votes must be received by Sunday, April 25st, 23:59:59 UTC, 2004 | | The following ballot is for voting on a General Resolution to add | editorial changes to the Social Contract. The vote is being conducted | in accordance with the policy delineated in Section A, Standard | Resolution Procedure, of the Debian Constitution. | | The details of the general resolution can also be found at: | http://www.debian.org/vote/2004/vote_003 | | HOW TO VOTE | | Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the | choice names. | | In the brackets next to your most preferred choice, place a 1. Place a | 2 in the brackets next to your next most preferred choice. Do not | enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 2. You may rank options | equally (as long as all choices X you make fall in the range 1<= X <= 2). | | To vote "no, no matter what" rank "Further Discussion" as more | desirable than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further | Discussion" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable | blank. Unranked choices are considered equally least desired choices, | and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the "Further | Discussion" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked | choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the "Further | Discussion" choice by the voting software). | | Then mail the ballot to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 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. Do _NOT_ encrypt | your ballot; the voting mechanism shall not be able to decrypt your | message. | | -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | [ 1 ] Choice 1: Change the Social Contract [3:1 majority needed] | [ 2 ] Choice 2: Further Discussion | -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | | | The full text of the GR is: | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | The Social Contract text shall be replaced with: | | 1. Debian will remain 100% free | | We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a work is "free" | in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software Guidelines". We | promise that the Debian system and all its components will be free | according to these guidelines. We will support people who create or | use both free and non-free works on Debian. We will never make the | system require the use of a non-free component. | | 2. We will give back to the free software community | | When we write new components of the Debian system, we will license | them in a manner consistent with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. | We will make the best system we can, so that free works will be widely | distributed and used. We will communicate things such as bug fixes, | improvements and user requests to the "upstream" authors of works | included in our system. | | 3. We will not hide problems | | We will keep our entire bug report database open for public view at | all times. Reports that people file online will promptly become visible | to others. | | 4. Our priorities are our users and free software | | We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software | community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. We | will support the needs of our users for operation in many different | kinds of computing environments. We will not object to non-free works | that are intended to be used on Debian systems, or attempt to charge a | fee to people who create or use such works. We will allow others to | create distributions containing both the Debian system and other | works, without any fee from us. In furtherance of these goals, we will | provide an integrated system of high-quality materials with no legal | restrictions that would prevent such uses of the system. | | 5. Works that do not meet our free software standards | | We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of works that do | not conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have created | "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our archive for these works. The | packages in these areas are not part of the Debian system, although | they have been configured for use with Debian. We encourage CD | manufacturers to read the licenses of the packages in these areas and | determine if they can distribute the packages on their CDs. Thus, | although non-free works are not a part of Debian, we support their use | and provide infrastructure for non-free packages (such as our bug | tracking system and mailing lists). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Since this modifies the Social Contract, this requires a 3:1 majority | to pass. | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | The responses to a valid vote shall be signed by the vote key created | for this vote. The public key for the vote, signed by the Project | secretary, is appended below. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- | Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) | | mQGiBEB4IK4RBAC41UQxoJU7jK8VUd2VLHewK5Y6Tfj+n2qgsCUNMnWM0Fy8qgSI | 9NBICTUrWNXSdYPcC4WQjr0aNrsKqo+nLJlixNmpylu++5KCVRW/cwSNMKjPHAIA | hVQZq5fnNSf9oD5id8N+353p2gYrYo7iN7rwLPyGaKCN1FwwK1GNHc2a9wCgu13u | uFkt8x+Q6T2+CTcVkF7HoJUD/A3rHLZyW90Hbqgiha2FDHk+x4jUCfCFaq763fW3 | spE6WFGDLLinhwnyr475wimc3oNs+ZQG8rZTuEx9MRY4hrsb0p5VytZOJ24LCM54 | fYVVYtGpWFyQIu93I/Zg+nX8RFtEEDlIAB2xHNVU7M1ujEJ74BxsyXzL6ewcdi4n | bJ6oA/9m+nsdBvGHn0wFuxxqC0+SbMR0AMy16wEgIV45RLrJVxoOZmiGJvkRxffb | /yWyGRFoWY8njV7Vc1pZcPVNYAvUnvkjlC63ZFUXJQCGmXosZspX6JTzAY8PS0iH | WjgZn/HzbO11mIDRfaw1GrJuAMcQsn78ubNlCBlmzuZqnbB4T7YAAAB1R1I6IEVk | aXRvcmlhbCBjaGFuZ2VzIHRvIHRoZSBTQyBrZXkgKFRoaXMgaXMgYSB0ZW1wb3Jh | cnkga2V5IGtlcHQgb24gYSBwdWJsaWMgbWFjaGluZSkgPGdyX2VkaXRvcmlhbEB2 | b3RlLmRlYmlhbi5vcmc+iGQEExECACQFAkB4IK4CGwMFCQAnjQAGCwkIBwMCAxUC | AwMWAgECHgECF4AACgkQtS56la8UqELzmwCfeKsN0wtZD9eLdoOfA4ZD7e4mqBwA | nR2S3pXldeVSoEOTTra23s9+HN6niEwEEBECAAwFAkB4IU0FgwAnjGEACgkQIbra | u78kQkwmJwCg6vUMz38cJIXCEGiTNPck1v3L1xkAn27+XLh2j1rstbrOmfhh4jHz | ldT9uQENBEB4IK8QBACjBKO/HUqhcn8g7Ss4jloI7gIs+DyWILYiKThB3Rx6gG+0 | rf8lArIKVDYKd+HoHA+5KAXlyDZR2PEWwpY+EGr6D2AL3ki+2kEt2ptWwwBwuj9U | e/p/Du2LiFZg2E6qjVGFXdBKocTLNtDm/kD860xgqyH4R4bAw+l3X1AUZYj3CwAD | BgP+PxmQUvHfgS2URciNP1/x/EB6kPG1J54UuvNuRV+AvU4Evf2DIVXzzGZCUMkS | olvKltOpsq3SpIcQ7mJ0h4E+GvZDmV/73Lc0zglznXJsmrQeSvbBD2TLbhBa8G8h | 95qkEsFRw/UQVefvZSn6HE25c/fW5ZzonMEpUwAC4xanm8yITwQYEQIADwUCQHgg | rwIbDAUJACeNAAAKCRC1LnqVrxSoQkhtAJ9rzoYAM6xp5UGH5cxolc/eHBk3kgCg | o6RrUok6QqUCfHlfeCBWMV3QH6A= | =gsI3 | -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- | | | | -- | By a careful cultural design, we control not the final behavior, but | the inclination to behave--the motives, the desires, the wishes ... we | increase the feeling of freedom. -- B.
