Yes. I'll possibly offer my services to the elected DPL to help achieving the goals the elected DPL and myself share. Parts of my goals I'll persue regardless of whether I'm elected, though most of the things I mentioned in my platform, are most effectively persued with the support of the project. Also, if elected, I will have reserved a minimum amount of time each week for doing DPL-type stuff, and when not elected, I'll still consider them important, but they'll have a harder time to battle for my Debian time, and might instead work on other areas -- after all, there must've been a reason I wasn't elected, so perhaps people were not as enthousiastic as I thought about seeing my goals reached, or seeing them worked on 'my way'. > Please be specific if you think one of your goals can't be reached or > helped with without being a DPL or a member of the DPL team. As I mentioned in my platform, I'm already doing a number of things to achieve my goals already now. A code of conduct itself is however I think best persued by a DPL or people more directly related to the lists. I don't think I'll be going to put much time aside for getting something like insider reports off the ground if not elected, that's something for the elected DPL to pick up. Working on user accessiblity will remain one of the areas I'm keeping working on, I will keep forums.debian.net running etc. For the rest, mediating is something I'll always want to help in, but probably won't be asked to if not in a position to. Actively and passively communicating with the media is also kind of a different thing if you can say "I'm the Debian project leader" compared to "I'm one of 900 or so Developers". So, in summary, I'll be able to do a lot less from my platform if I'm not elected. Which is quite logical, because I've only put things I want to persue *as DPL* in my platform. I'm not running for DPL to have a vote on my other Debian work, I'll keep doing that regardless -- things like QA, ftp-master team tasks, and of course packaging, and a load of other misc things. I don't believe those are relevant for a DPL election. --Jeroen -- 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".
