Branden Robinson Releases 3rd DPL Report
A anonymous reader writes "Branden Robinson has posted his third report as Debian Project Leader. This report covers the Sarge release, the status of security support, delegation activities, Mozilla Firefox trademark license, the need for community donation for a new hosting site and new hardware, and more."
All wonderfull questions, and all besides the point that I wish the bush administration was more open.
As for Kerry's discharge, I seem to remember a guy by the name of Nixon who tried to have kerry ruined for his testimony before the senate against the war. Who knows what tricks he might have played via command pressure? not me. I also don't know what tricks bush played regarding his service. Seeing as Bush is president (not kerry), and bush started a war (not kerry) I think the questions about Bush ACTIONS are more important than questions about kerrys character.
every _exit() is the same, but every clone() is different.
how can I?
two ways:
1) I said questions about bush's actions are more important than questions about kerry's character, so your objection is misplaced.
2) treason is giving aid to the enemy, as in getting your own guys killed so that the other guys can win. If speaking out against a unnecessary war qualifies as wanting the other side to win, or qualifies as killing your own guys, then lots of us are guilty of treason, and some may argue that being treacherous (by your definition) is morally obligated, making those of us who are not traitors the bad guys.
In summary, hatred of kerry, whether rational or irrational doesn't change the fact that the bush administration is too closed for many people's likings. For instance Why are the names of the people on Cheney's energy task force secret? Why on earth should that be a secret? Hating kerry doesn't fill the void left by those nagging questions.
Anyway slashdot must be broken for us to be having this discussion between the 2 of us.
every _exit() is the same, but every clone() is different.
sigh.
I wish the best to his wife, Michelle. As he indicates, she has been hospitalized twice over the past month.
Indeed, this report truly shows the communal-individualistic nature of the open source community. Not only do we provide each other with amazing software, but as a community we are able to help each other out a great deal. In the corporate world you don't often find the sort of comraderie that is prevalent in the open source community. People matter, at the individual level.
I'm sure we'll all forgive him that he was a bit late in delivering this report.
Cyric Zndovzny at your service.
all the offtopic non-linux posts I do think it is interesting and relevant that Debian has listened to the people using the distro and have addressed the problems. You usually do not see such a fast response to security issues and problems. It is obvious that the leadership of Debian is concerned for the users and the future of Debian.
Cheers to Debian!

As a loyal and satisfied Debian user, I gotta say this is really sad. A whopping 11 comments (at this time) for a story about one of the [subjective comment follows] most successful open source OS's out there. Sad.
Of course, it was posted on a saturday...
man, I feel like mold.
