Re: I intend to stand for the project leadership

[ioannis@flinet.com]

 Do you consider it troublesome to answer questions put to you?

 You intend, as you say, to come forward as a project leader; well, suppose
 I were to take hold of you as you were about to ascend the platform, 
 and were to ask you: "Ian, if you were in a battle, in whose army
 would you rather participate, in a company with a wise general, or with
 a foolish one? And if you were ill, would you rather have as a wise
 physician, or an an ignorant one? It should easy to answer. 

 And yet, when you declare that you want to be the Debian Director, and
 you are going to attend to manage and restructure an organization
 would it be right to ask if you are superior programmer, or if you are
 inferior one? No, for this would seem ridiculous. Instead, we
 should inquire about your management skills: what is your education,
 who were your teachers, and what companies you have administered. 
 I should suppose that you will be able to answer questions of this sort. 

 Tell us then, what are your qualifications as an administrator. For if it
 turns out that you are only a good programmer that would not be an 
 advantage. I have no more to say.
