Dear Sergey, I'm not trying to refrain you from leaving, but there are some things about how the project works that probably need to be stated in a clearer manner for the sake of understanding. A General Resolution is not (yet) a decision of the project, and is generally opened with only one voting option, as the other voting options are submitted and sponsored after the GR is announced. There are currently many resolutions proposed on the debian-vote@ list, and there is a good chance that one at least will get added to the GR as soon as it has enough sponsors. In any case, there is a default option which is "Further Discussion" which is always present in a GR and basically means that the GR is moot. Some Debian members want to see Debian signing that letter and that is their right, as it's exactly the point of a GR. It could be that the GR indeed approves Debian signing such a letter, and it could be that the GR does not approve such a signature. As for RMS, whether one likes him or not, it's not hard to see his public communications and see what things he defended. As far as I saw, it at least included (but not limited to) some leniency regarding child abuse and the possession of pedopornographic materials, which I hope is not something anyone here would defend. I'd not like to have such a man in my living room, and I can understand that many here feel like he's giving a poor image of the FSF and the Free Software by having come back here without making any apology. I wish you the best of luck in your future work, and I'd like to thank you for your contributions to the project. -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue GPG: 9AE0 4D98 6400 E3B6 7528 F493 0D44 2664 1949 74E2 It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
