I think I'm a person who's not afraid to try something if I think it will improve the project in some way. I'm also not afraid to back out if I made a mistake; I've done so on several occasions. This is similar to how Debian keeps its mistakes and problems in public -- we even made that part of our social contract. I do not really embody the 'spirit and culture' of flaming people (although there have been exceptions), but I don't think that's a great loss. > If elected DPL, how will you inspire the same in others? Passively, by example; Actively, by (politely) challenging people who are working in what I feel to be a counterproductive way, and by encouraging others to do the same. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
