I did not vote in this election. I know who I'd have voted for, if I did vote, but I'm struggling with some more fundamental issues.
More generally, most Debian decisions have been made by an "activist elite". So far, that's seemed to work fairly well -- perhaps because of our charter, we've been able to trust that people interested in an issue will make well informed decisions about that issue. Or: I don't see the non-involvement of myself (or others) as a sign of ill health for the organization. It's the way things have always been -- we're a group of volunteer specialists, not political activists. Of course, I might be wrong -- but if so, I think I'd liked to be convinced based on significant examples (as opposed to generalist rhetoric). [And, yes, I do need to be more active as a developer -- you are correct about that.] Thanks, -- Raul
