I'd like to thank everyone who voted in this election, and I'm glad that you have chosen me to be your next Debian Project Leader. This year's election has certainly been a very interesting one. Most of the candidates had well thought-out platforms with great ideas in them. This fact also shows in the results of the election -- the first three candidates were very close together. I will therefore look at the other candidates' platforms again in detail and incorporate some of their ideas into my program. Furthermore, I am very interested in working together with Bdale and Branden (especially in his function as Treasurer of SPI). Finally, if you have any ideas or request, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me! The election started fairly early this year. Last year, voting ended on April 16th, 2002 (see http://www.debian.org/vote/2002/vote_0001) and Bdale was appointed DPL on April 17th for the term of one year. Hence, my term starts on Thursday, April 17th, 2003. I will use the time until then to contact the delegates and to work with Bdale in order to ensure a smooth transition. I am very grateful that you have chosen me as your DPL and accept the responsibility that comes with this position. Thank you. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
