That would be said by the result of the Recall GR, no need to state it. | The Debian Project does not object to the experiment named | "Dunc-Tank", lead by Anthony Towns, the current DPL, and Steve | McIntyre, the Second in Charge. The project could object, I don't see what that would change in the facts: the Debian Project cannot reach that initiative (whereas only created by developers that lost their DD hat because of the wind), so we could object, that would not change a damn thing anyway. | However, this particular experiment is not the result of a | decision of the Debian Project. I agree. | The Debian Project wishes success to projects funding Debian or | helping towards the release of Etch. Bah, that is way too poorly worded: that would mean, that if I create a project that would fund the RM to remove any package with an RC bug to release on tomorrow, Debian would wish me success. One could even imaging more twisted scenariis. Such a general statement is useless. So, since that will be a separate GR, I do the proposal below: ---8<------------- Anthony Towns, the current Debian Project Leader, has suggested funding the Debian Release Managers' living expenses during the forthcoming release. Following informal opposition during internal discussions, Anthony Towns and al, have started soliciting donations for this purpose, in an initiative called `dunc-tank'. This particular experiment is not the result of a decision of the Debian Project. --->8------------- The aim of that proposal is to express in a neutral way what led to the creation of dunc-tank, and to reaffirm that dunc-tank is not a Debian initiative. I want it to be 100% neutral, neither pro, nor cons. Note that I do think that a statement resolution should NOT object NOR give support to dunc-tank. Especially the latter, because that would be a very circuitous way to make from that initiative a Debian one, which is exactly what the statement states beeing false. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
