Hi people, With the record number of six people running for DPL this year[1], and having now five platforms available (at the same location), this year's DPL campaiging promises to become an interesting discussion.
In order to try to keep the size of the discussion still consumeable by as much people as possible, I would like to call for all participants to pay attention to common mailing list etiquette: - Please try to be brief and to the point - Do not make off-topic remarks or just reply because you've come up with something witty; debian-curiosa[2] is if nothing else best suited for that. - Try to keep up with -vote so that you don't ask duplicate questions/give duplicate answers - Trim down the text you're replying to, such that only exactly the needed context is there. Do not quote signatures. - Change the subject when turning the (sub-)thread into a different direction - Do not top-post - Be polite. Do not attack with argumentum ad hominem. Of course, personal properties of the candidates are on-topic for a DPL election, but please only discuss those that are relevant for a prospective DPL I hope that if everybody pays a little bit attention to these guidelines, the campaigning discussion will be constructive, nice and interesting, and especially makes sure that the debian developers can gather the information here that they would like to have to make a well-thought choice for the DPL elections. Thank you very much, --Jeroen N.B.: In the interest of full disclosure, I'm affiliated with Andreas Schuldei and Branden Robinson, read their platforms for more information, I will also seperately send out a mail about that soonishly Note, this mail is written with last year's discussion in mind, and is not a reaction to anything that happened this year on -vote [1] http://www.debian.org/vote/2005/vote_001 [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-curiosa/ -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
