I think I'm in favour of the Debian Foundation (although I'd like to be more informed about this). But I'm definitely NOT in favor of co-opting the DPL election to vote for it, because you dislike GRs. I intend to vote for you below NOTA because of this reason, not because I don't think exploring the Debian Foundation idea is worth the time. > Thank you both.

I want a DPL that sets a vision for the project, that helps developers find a common cause for collaborating and moving the project ahead. It doesn't seem that this is your goal and so I don't feel comfortable voting for you above NOTA. -- Besos, Marga
