This is from Branden's platform: > As DPL, I would like to take steps to get Debian's voice heard in the > halls of government if and where appropriate, so that our ideals -- and > our means of achieving them -- are not legislated out of existence by > governments hostile to them (or, more likely, governments that have sold > sections of their lawbooks to large corporations comfortable with past > models of intellectual property and its distribution). To Branden: Do you feel this should be a function of Debian, SPI or both? Should this effort be in cooperation with OSSI [1] or separate from it? What about other country's governments? Do you have specific ideas here or is this just a general notion of what you'd like to do? To the other candidates: Do you have ideas about/interest in these issues? Is it Debian's role to play, or someone else's? Thanks, Dale [1] http://oss-institute.org/new_what_is.htm -- Dale E. Martin, Clifton Labs, Inc.
