The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: Debian + KDE disk

> What higher goal are you talking about? To evangelize the world ...

*yes*.  Why do you think we bothered with the DFSG?  Because freedom
of software is *important* to us.  Sure, we want to produce an
excellent linux distribution -- but we want to produce an excellent
*free* distribution in particular.  That is our chosen challenge, and
distinction; otherwise we're just "trying to outdo redhat" or worse
"trying to outdo slackware" :-)

I think the compromise (taking the donations and using them to produce
a free Qt) is a cool hack.  After all, it's not KDE that's the problem
(it's straight GPL, right, ignoring the conflict with the qt license?)
Qt is what gives us indigestion.  I get the impression that KDE would
gladly switch to a freeqt, or at least optionally use it, just to get
out of these flamewars...

ps.  Is anyone coordinating the FreeQt project?  I have the X and C++
skills, though probably not the run-a-group project skills, and I have
some time off between jobs coming up...
