For example, I would question whether one could do the role of DPL with a conventional full-time job in IT, at least if you want to keep any other hobbies outside of those two jobs. The amount of media and expected travel to represent Debian is rather intimidating (particularly to an introvert), as are the number of things that are relatively time-sensitive and require a lot of effort. (I think mediations and helping people work together is much more difficult than technical work on packages.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
