The candidates for Debian Project Leader will debate one another live on IRC Thursday, 16 March 2006 from 22:30 UTC to 01:00 UTC the following day. Don Armstrong <don@debian.org> will moderate the live debate. CALL FOR DEBATE QUESTIONS What do you want Don to ask the candidates? Please think of questions for the candidates now. This is your chance to get a direct, live response in the debate arena from Debian's next DPL to the burning question you think of greatest import to the Project---or to some smaller question you feel the next DPL should answer. Don won't give your name; he'll just ask your question. Then we'll see how the candidates respond. Questions written and signed by Debian Developers will be given precedence, but non-Developers can ask questions, too. Your question must be germane to Debian and must be addressable not just to one candidate but to all the candidates at once. Similar questions asked by different people, we may combine. Questions investigating the candidates' intent as DPL are encouraged, but questions demanding ironclad on-the-spot pledges from the candidates will not be entertained (see the candidates' platforms for pledges), nor will mere badgering or trolling. Other than these rules, any question goes: comfortable, uncomfortable, technical, social, easy, hard, blunt, sharp, big, small; whatever you think the candidates should answer. Send me your questions now. CALL FOR DEBATE PANELISTS You don't want Don and me to write the debate questions. For the live debate we need panelists to ask follow-up questions and perhaps for other purposes. Don and I have the dull jobs because we must remain neutral. The panel is where the action is. So, don't make us write the questions. Volunteer now. Time required: the 2.5 hours of the live debate. DEBATE VENUE, DATE AND TIME Whether on the panel or not, you can attend the debate live on Freenode IRC (irc.debian.org) channels #debian-dpl-debate and #debian-dpl-discuss Thursday, 16 March 2006 from 22:30 UTC to 01:00 UTC the following day. Transcripts will be published later for those who cannot attend the live event. Contact Don Armstrong <don@debian.org> to volunteer for the debate panel. Debate questions, send privately to me. Otherwise, we'll see you at the debate. -- Thaddeus H. Black <thb@debian.org>
