why a debian project leader?
Preface: I'm honestly hoping that this email wil spur some constructive
discussion...
Personally, I don't believe in voting, and I don't believe that I have a
need for some kind of Leader.
I know this this topic has come up before, but is Debian Project Leader
really the title that best describes this position? Wouldn't Debian
Project Representative be better?
Maybe I just don't understand the role of the Project Leader, but I
believe that our diversity, decentralization and autonomy re our biggest
strengths. Doesn't having a Leader create a situation of heirarchy and
take away some of our autonomy?
Feel free to email me off list if you think this is not relevant to the
election.

Hi folks,
Due to a combination of a business trip, my hotel's dialup failing
to work, and my at job not firing off at the right time, this call
for votes is over a day late. The voting mechanism has been
accepting, but not yet processing, votes for about 12 hours now. If
the candidates feel that this reduction of the voting period is
unacceptable (it does contravene the letter of the constitution), I
can have the voting period extended by 15 hours and 34 minutes.
