First, just note that IANADD (even if I'm not that far from it [1]). Anyway, I have a couple of questions for you : I quote you here :  I try not to spend too much time on email or IRC, hence my low  profile amongst Debian internationally. and  The DPL's primary function as I see it is to act as a figureheadâa  single point of contact to present Debian to the outside world.  Consequently, I see the most important qualities of a good project  leader to be availability, written and spoken language skills,  personality and experience being a Debian Developer. And I'm asking me how those two parts are conciliable. Even if in some threads, there is a really poor signal:noise ratio, there is some things going on in them ... Moreover, talking from debians problems around a Beer (quite quoting you here) won't be possible. I live in Paris, and I don't suppose you'll make the trip, do you ? Moreover, I may be wrong, but since you took so many time (wrt othere candidates) to write your platform, I was hoping to read a wonderful thing, full of ideas, directions, ... And what I read in 2 minutes, 10 minutes ago, made me feel deceived : the only thing concrete you propose is to suggest to stop beeing so extreme wrt freeness. And that's not really true, since (quoting you) it  should not be directly relevant to the DPL election Â. Like we say in France, my arms fall ... (understand I'm more that sceptic). You affirm that  I am running for DPL because I believe I can do a great job  but you don't describe what you want to do, or to try to at least (except drinking beers, that is honorable). And you talk about beeing less free in debian, as a side thing, a thing completely orthogonal ... but IIRC, there was two votes : the first was to make debian really more free [2], that was the winner the seconde wart wrt Sarge release, and voters didn't choose to revert the policy, only to postpone changes for after sarge [3]. It seems clear to me, that any revert option didn't had the majority. but does the DPL should represent Debian and not run his primary interest ? So how to you will conciliate all the above with beeing DPL ??
