I joined because I was asked. Generally speaking, I'm happy to help whoever asks me, if I feel it's something I can do. > (3) Will you all be going to debconf6 in Mexico, and can we therefore > expect you to flip a coin to see who gets Steve and Raphael for an > exciting game of five-a-side football or ultimate frisbee? I already have the tickets to Debconf6. I can certainly flip a coin, but when I do there's usually a 33% chance that I fail to catch it and it falls straight to the ground and gets lost in the grass. As a result, the outcomes of a coin toss of mine are 33% head, 33% tail, 33% None of the above/Further discussion. > (4) When asked about why things didn't work last year, both Andreas [0] > and Jeroen [1] seem to have mostly pointed to Branden not doing things > that, if elected, they will.

Some things that come to my mind are: - run the IRC session with 24/7 backlog and be able to read discussion that happened when I wasn't online. - bring experience from last year, plus the aftermath of what, in hindsight, could have been done better, and grow from that - pray $deity that the DPL won't go through the same difficult personal events that Branden had to go through > (5) How would you rate the importance of your participation on the DPL > team compared to your other roles in Debian? I consider it more important to work on debtags and the rest of my packages than to be part of the DPL team. That's because I think that the DPL (and optional team) are a useful extra to all the work that happens in Debian, but the main thing in Debian is the technical work that we all do everyday. > (6) Has your DPL team had any meetings already, for which minutes could be > published? Not that I've seen. There's an IRC channel where people are gathered, but there's been no formal meeting TTBOMK. My feeling is that there won't be much to do, let alone meetings, unless Jeroen gets elected. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>
