Hello, this evening I'm going to ask a few questions to Martin.
BTW, I'm feeling alone ... does no one else have questions for our candidates or are you alll waiting for the IRC debate ? You explain that too many external projects do not make the effort to integrate their work within Debian and you want to do better in this area ... but do you have some specific external projects in mind already ? Don't you think that there are logical explanations why their work is not always integrated into Debian ? And if you identify problems that make it difficult to integrate their work into Debian, do you have plans to make it easier in the future ? [ I have my own opinion on those questions but I don't want to give you any hint :-) ] You're speaking of a possible certification program in cooperation with hardware vendors ? Can you elaborate on that ? I find this idea a bit strange ... I don't see that as very important but maybe you can convince me of the contrary. When you speak of the internal functions, you're mentionning sponsorship, new maintainer and mia developers. That's what you know best. But did you identify other problematic parts in the inner working of Debian ? What do you think about debian-admin, ftpmasters, RM and so on ? You're encouraging other people to become mini-DPL or mini-RM, acting like responsible people who can do almost everything provided that they are reasonable, polite, etc. Don't you fear the chaos ? Don't you think that giving official titles to people encourage them to work on a specific task ? Don't you think that having a team instead of a single RM would be better ? What about a vice-DPL ? [ BTW, my questions do not represent my point of view, I'm trying to ask like an outsider when in fact I have my own opinion on those questions but I do not want my opinion to influence your answer ] Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://www.ouaza.com Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com
