Martin Michlmayr Wins DPL

Posted by timothy on from the clean-sweep dept.

Strike writes "The votes for the new Debian Project Leader are in and the tallying is over, results here. Martin Michlmayr comes out on top, winning 4-0 going head to head against the other three candidates (with the fourth win being over "no candidate"). Last year's DPL Bdale Garbee came in 2nd, with Branden Robinson and Moshe Zadka coming in 3rd and 4th. Michlmayr's platform can be seen here."

  1. How did he REALLY win? by Rumbler · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "...Moshe's intention is to do nothing at all..."

    "...Bdale speaks of communication... community at large was not well informed at all of what was going on..."

    "...I didn't see many new thoughts in Branden's platform...he has had (pointless) arguments with virtually anyone in the project who is doing important stuff...I doubt he would be an effective leader..."

    The true secret to success... clever condescending trash talking.

    If a programmer can't figure out whether or not it's free, then it isn't. Anything else is impractical.
