-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the election process this year, and particularly to those of you who expressed a preference for me in your voting! My thanks to Branden and Raphael for their participation in the process. Both represented themselves well through their campaigns, and I look forward to continuing significant contributions to Debian from each of them. Please also join me in thanking Ben Collins, our outgoing Project Leader, for his service to the project. I also appreciate the professionalism with which our Secretary, Manoj Srivastava, handled the election logistics this year. I have received many messages of congratulations, support, and encouragement in the past few days. I am attempting to reply to each of them individually. Several of you made specific recommendations to me, and all are being considered. I am also looking forward to making contact with each of the existing delegates and other key contributors to our success in the next week or two. But before I tackle any *new* tasks, I hope our highest priority is as clear to you as it is to me! Please join me in providing full support to our release manager, Anthony Towns, as he leads us through the final preparations for our upcoming release of Debian 3.0 (woody). I take quite seriously the responsibility you have bestowed upon me, and I certainly hope I will be able to live up to your expectations. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas or concerns you may have. This is the first of what I hope will be a fairly regular series of messages from me in my capacity as Debian Project Leader. I intend to tackle various topics that I think deserve your attention as we move along the path towards our vision for Debian's future... but right now, I don't want to distract anyone from the effort to get woody released! Thank you for your time, and your attention.
