(After 4 years, I'm again on the right side of the ballot box to ask questions... *cracking knuckles*) All candidates seem to agree that Debian has an important role to play in the Free Software movement at large. Good: I couldn't agree more! :) But then, one wonders, what are the main challenges that free software at large faces today? For one thing, it would quite pointless to have, say, Debian be a recognized free software "leader," if free software in itself is declining or doomed to fail. I'm not saying I think it is the case, but if our success is a part of free software success, we do need to have an opinion on how free software is going, outside our Project boundaries. What do candidates think of this? Is free software "going well"? Is it going to go "better" or "worse" in forthcoming years? Why? Then, if you think free software is not at its best at present, what do you think Debian could do to help? At a glance, Debian seems to have always done one thing (distributing free software) and has done so relatively well. Is that enough for current and future free software challenges? Or should we change to better face those challenges? Many thanks in advance for your answers, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . zack@upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Debian Project Leader . . . . . . @zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »
