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. debian political parties vs. a national ones by absurdhero · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This guy has an interesting and in depth platform. I wish our real world politicians would go at it with this kind of vigor and detail. He is well educated and has been working actively within Debian for the past few years and has real purpose and usefuleness. I wish i could say the same about bureaucrats.

  2. Congratulations to the winner ... by DogIsMyCoprocessor · · Score: 5, Funny
    of an incomprehensible voting system. Now all that remains for Martin Michlmayr is to -
    1. Destroy the Debian budget by not cashing donation checks from the wealthiest donors
    2. Hire a press agent who can say "GNU/Linux" with a straight face
    3. Imprison without accusation developers on those suspicious BSD-licensed projects
    4. Declare war on Red Hat (damn commies!)
