Yay!

It seems I've been elected to be DPL for the next year, starting this coming Thursday (18th April) according to Manoj. Thanks to the people that voted for me, and also to the other two candidates - better luck next time to Marc and Raphael. And (of course) thanks to Sam as well for his excellent efforts over the last year.

I hope to do a good job for you all this year, and I have a few plans on what I'm going to do. More concrete details once I'm actually officially in charge... :-)

I'm running again...

... and I'm ill again. I hope this is just a coincidence, but this makes 3 years out of 3 where shortly after standing in the DPL election I get a cold. *sneeze* Apologies in advance if I don't respond to all of people's questions on debian-vote immediately in the next few days...

Again! Again!

I've decided to stand for DPL again this year. After (most of) a year of helping AJ as his 2IC, I've seen more of what the job entails and I still think I can do it well. But again, I'll be happy to continue working on Debian regardless of who wins the election in a few weeks time. May the best (or at least most popular - *grin*) DD win!

Debate!

Things are busy; IRC channels with >100 people onboard are often quite chaotic, but so far we're going well. Roll on the free-for-all...!

Halfway through the 2006 DPL election

We're coming up to the middle of the campaigning period in the election this year. I'm not going to comment on the other candidates or the issues here - we've got enough campaigning going on on the debian-vote mailing list and elsewhere.

What I am going to comment on is the good range of insightful questions that our developers have been raising during this period. While it's not a huge amount of fun keeping on thinking up good answers for those questions, it's excellent to see that so many of our developers care enough to make our lives awkward at this point! :-)

Enrico's questions for the DPL candidates

Enrico has asked the candidates quite a few questions this year via his blog. To be honest, Enrico, I think you'd be better off posting your list to the -vote mailing list - that way the questions and answers will be seen by everybody looking for them, and they'll be archived.
