+1 I think Guillem's suggestion is not respecting the great work several DPLs have done and I remember DPLs who saved Debian from beeing trapped in a blind alley. I admit I have ideas how we could move Debian a bit but to do so I expect so many time draining jobs that it would become incompatible with my day job. Beeing in a sitiation where my employer would not support pure Debian dedicated work I feel not able to do a responsible job as DPL. However, I would like to encourage new DDs to apply for the job. There is no need to be a long standing DD to run for the position. It is your chance to implement your ideas and fix issues long standing DDs might have became blind about. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
