Hi, As I've been asked at FOSDEM, and reached a decision, I would like to make a more official statement. It has been a pleasure and a honor to be the Debian Project Leader since 2013. Debian is really a fantastic project to be part of, with a unique community. The recent times have not been the easiest ever, but I am convinced that the approaching jessie release will just show how we have overcomed the recent difficulties. But I also think that switching release cycles is a good opportunity to align other changes, and starting a fresh release cycle with a fresh DPL might be a good idea. Put differently: no, I will not run for re-election. During my last 2.5 months of this term, I will do my best to ensure that the transition to the next DPL will be as smooth as possible. That includes working on finishing some already-started tasks, to enable the next DPL to start with a clean(er) sheet. This means that, if I've been pinging you about something on a regular basis, please expect the pressure to increase. :-) (Also, feel free to ping me if you think I've forgotten about something.) Finally, this means that we need to find DPL candidates so that we can all enjoy a lively DPL campaign. Please don't be shy, and: - really consider running yourself - make sure your dream candidates know they are your dream candidates Oh, and to really enjoy the DPL campaign, we should try to get other things off our plate before it -- let's fix all RC bugs and release jessie by then? - Lucas
