since i used to be admin, and am not anymore).

Sure, i speak out because if not i will only be plainly forgotten, but
what other choice do i have ? Tell me, and i will try it out. I have
asked for help numerous times, and tried alternative solutions, all to
no avail, or to worsened agression against me.

I think you are wrong and there is no need for further heat when I
tell you so.

Did i say the world is black and white ? And well, you may sometime
think i am wrong, and tell me so, and we can honestly discuss this.

In this case though, the other side has not made a single attempt to
discuss it with me, but instead went into a campaign of calumny and
provocation, and then resorted to (ab)using their technical power or
relationship to punish me.

Notice the difference.

   Maybe Bastian had something cruel in mind or maybe not, this just does
   not matter. The current problem is solved. It's time for you to realize

and that i am forced to make a fuss just to not be ignored ? Do you know
the number of mails i sent to the DPL (previous one) and to the DAMs
(more recently) and got plainly ignored ? Did you see the effort i made

Partially back, i was admin of the kernel team, and am not anymore. 

 Simple request, simple solution, and we are through with the relevant
 part. If you feel the strong pressure for cooking the old stuff again,
 open a separate thread (maybe even on -private).

You are joking, right ? You don't remeber that i have been unfairly
suspended from debian, and i can't read private ? 

Maybe we should do a separate thread, but the DPL directly asked me to
avoid multiplicating the threads, so ...

Furthermore, except the first mail (well 3 or so, but only one lead to
such a long thread), all my mails are responses to other people, and i
believe in open and transparent discussion. Should i be blamed for it

It seems that waldi doesn't want to do it, and also not to give any
statement that he wanted to kick you out. I consider this a very bad
behaviour, at least. And not acceptable.

We had just an IRC-discussion (in German):
12:15  Ganneff waldi: wie siehts aus mit svenl wieder zum alioth
kernel zuzufügen nachdem er da wohl ungeplant flog?
12:15  waldi Ganneff: es hat eigentlich keiner lust sich mit ihm
abzugeben. ein teil ignoriert ihn komplett
12:15  aba waldi: *du* hast ihn entfernt. Dann bist Du auch fürs
aufräumen zuständig.
12:16  Ganneff waldi: dann schreib ihm entweder sowas als entscheidung
vom kernel team wenns die gibt oder füg ihn wieder zu. aber ignorieren
ist nix gut.
12:16  aba waldi: entweder sagst du offiziell, das du ihn draußen
haben willst. Oder du fügst ihn wieder hinzu.
12:17  Ganneff waldi: und es heisst svn zufügen, das muss nit
unbedingt wieder admin sein. solang er dran arbeiten kann - oder
alternativ halt weiss dass es nix wird weil $grund.
12:21  Ganneff waldi: so?
12:27  Ganneff waldi: im moment siehts eher so aus dass du deinen
access zu kernel (zumindest admin) verlieren solltest, nicht sven.
(and no answer from waldi up to now)


As you can see, there is no need for you to escalate it - other people
will take care of that. :)

Yeah, right, is it so difficult to solve this as it should have been ?
Do you really believe there is any valid justification to having me
suspended for a year despite the 70:7 strong opposition of the DDs who
where asked to express themselves ? What did it gain, and what was the
reason that made the DAMs decide this way ? Appart that the expulsers
provided more hatefull and agressive quotes than the those opposing the
expulsion, and the DAMs chose to put them in value. 

Do you believe it was correct for the expulsers to ask for my expulsion
on the day after i proposed my DPL candidacy, while i had not posted a
single post on the debian lists for over a month ? And that the DAMs
chose to hide this for whatevr obscure reason ?

 We know that you're not happy with the situation, but continueing to
 bring it up will not solve it either.
 
 Please don't reply and work on important things instead.

Yeah, right, which is what i have been trying to do since over a year,
first i worked, and provided over 30 or so patches to d-i despite the
d-i access removal, just to get bashed in half the report by a clueless
frans who jumped on every little excuse to explode, and finally made
some under-hand manipulation with the ftp-masters to remove my upload
right of the .udebs. This is what i did when i wrote the wiki page :

  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FransPopAndOthersVs%2eSvenLutherIssue

and got FUCK YOU and the biggest load of self-satisfied and
self-centered crap I've ever seen from frans, and abuse from geert and
holger (which they removed in shame later on), and blackmail of joeyh in
return.

This is what i did in february, organizing hardware for the debian
booth, passing time to prepare the ps3 debian install, on the ps3 that
geert uutyeroven had arranged, and geert stappers or holger found the
occasion to bash me when i once posted to the list by mistake while
searching for a TV set.

I did this while those hateful expulsers secretely where scheming to
restart the expulsion procedure, while on saturday evening the DAMs had
sent me a mail which got eaten by the debian.org mail greylisting or
whatever, and while i spoke to James Troup on sunday afternoon, after
having hold a discussion about the future possibilities of the kernel
developments, of which nobody from the d-i team assisted except holger,
who was forced to film, and frans passed by me without returning my
greeting afterward.

I did this while the expulsion process was underway and posted only few
select mails, and even was mostly silent for the week or two that
followed the end of the support mail period, waiting for the DAMs to
decide in frustration and trauma, while Frans started agressing me on
the lists again.

I was doing this when i discovered this latest case.

So, for me, now, in debian, the most important thing, is that this
continuous agression are stopped, that each party in this is blamed
accordying to their responsabilities, in a fair and equitable way, and
that the one-sided punishment are lifted, and that we are all allowed to
work on the parts of debian that we like and code all happily forever
after.

Can you tell me a single reason why this should not happen ? Can you
tell me a single reason that justifies the DAMs decision to act as they
did, and which can be named without shame (i know that one reason of the
decision is the fact that the other party threatened to stop all d-i
related work if they didn't get their way, just as Joey Hess has written
on the wiki and that this would have caused a problem so near the etch
release, i also know that Joerg Jaspert (and others) heavily disliked
Anthony Towns, and thus it could justify the manipulation of the dates
of the expulsers mail, to make it appear as if this was Anthony's
action, but these are hardly noble reasons we can approve of, don't we) ?

Joey, if you see this kind of attitude in real life, while you really
stand by, and counsel the victim to support everything and be silent,
especially as you being a pillar of the community, can act to change it ? 

This is not some unnamed oppression by a state or power we have no
access too, this is unfairness,

I am angry at Debian, who has handled me unfairly (to use a nice word
for it), and have left a select few go into a calumniation and
provocation campaign against looking the other way. I am angry at the
DAMs for having used the expulsion request in their private warfar
against Anthony Towns, i am angry at all DDs because nobody contested
the DAMs decision, and thus silently accepted another level of
escalation of something that if you think of it, you would never have

agressors will ever have enough honour and dignity to recognize their
part of fault, but the debian project as a whole owes me an apology of
how i was handled, and Debian owes me a lifting of all the punishments
it has unfairly submitted to me.

You all know me, you all know what entusiast and time i devoted to
debian, and what i have achieved all over the almost 9 years since i
became DD. Everyone who meets me in RL will tell you that i am a nice
guy, always helpful and friendly. Is there any justification of the kind
of harrasment i have been under since over a year, and any excuse for
Debian allowing this to happen ? 

Saddened,

Sven Luther

 Hrm, last time you silently removed somebody from the kernel team
 (Jonas), people were able to find out it was you in the end.  Maybe you
 can use the same technique now, or maybe that feature got
 removed/deactivated in newer gforge versions.

Possibly, how could i know. Still if this was still the case, there is
really no justification that Stephen didn't tell me as he knew about it.

Notice also that the DAMs in january, when they called me, said i have
those expulsion request in my mailbox, didn't tell me who it was, or
the reason they invoked for it. 

Notice that when the mess with Frans started, i was never told until
month later what the d-i folk really reproached to me, until someday
Anthony told me that the real problem was that Frans felt i didn't
respect him enough.

Notice, how in all this, instead of doing the managerial correct thing
to do, and face the issue and solve it, one way or another, it was
handled in secrecy, and behind the back shadowy dealings and whatever
not.

A bit of courage, honestity and straigthforwardness would have solved
this whole mess before it had a chance to happen, over a year ago.

Do we really wish to continue this for another year, just so that they
reask for my expulsion in marsch next year, just before the suspension
is over ?

Yes, so, what ? I have seen that if i don't make a fuss over this,
everyone is pretty happy to let things slide into forgoteness. Never has
me being silent helped in any way.

 You're not bringing up anything new.

And i will repeat it as long as people try to ignore me, and until
Debian stands up and act in a dign and honourable way in this.

 You're not helping yourself if you continue.

You mean, i am not being meekly silent and accept my fate, right ? Like
said, i was silent for longer periods in the past, and it earned me only
repeated agression, so no, i will not be silent, and if you guys take it
further, and try to censor me on the lists like it was tried, i guess
there are other forums where i could export this mess.

Why can't you guys understand how easy it would be to solve this ? Why
do you think i proposed an in-person meeting at FOSDEM, and why do you
think i spoke with Christian Perrier at solution linux in paris, asking
him to help prepare such a in-person meeting at FOSDEM. Why do you think
i held a technical discussion meeting at FOSDEM over the kernel, so the
d-i folk could voice their critics, and we could reconcile all the
difference of opinions, and chose the best technical solution for lenny,
now, early in the development process ? Why do you think i wrote that
positive wiki page, and called for reconciliation ? 

These are all things i expected from the DPL last year, when *I* went to
him for a mediation.

So, yes, i am angry and hurt, but i am rightfully angered, and i will
not be silenced, except if someone decide to send some goons after me to
empty some rounds of amunition into me.

Frankly, all those years back, when i meet you in oldenburg, if i had
known what a vampirizing beast debian was, and how the DDs would stand
aside while a bunch of power-hungry assholes where going on a systematic
campaign to hurt me, i would have gone away running, and not sacrificed
so much of my time and work to debian.

And you ask me to be silent ?

This feature is still available and has always been restricted to project

In other words, all admins of the Alioth kernel project (waldi included)
could have find out that waldi removed Sven from the project.

In any case, this issue is closed now.

 what is enough? I do not see total abdication as a viable option.
 It may take two to argue, but one can rehash previous disagreements
 endlessly.

Well, the solution is easy enough.

Debian says :

  In the lamentable incident involving sven, and a handful of persons,
  both parties share the responsability. The debian project upto now
  chose to fully side with one party and unfairly punish the other.

  This is not an acceptable way to handle such a problem, the debian
  project presents his apologies to Sven for the one-sidedness of its
  handling of this case, and accepts the apologies of Sven for the
  numerous rehashing he was forced to make of this issue.

  The Debian project furthermore commends Sven for the tentative of
  reconciliation he has made, and notes that the other party of this
  dispute was fully uninterested in resolving the issue.

  All the unfair sactions are lifted, the d-i team choses to not forget
  the old grudges, and will continue to stop Sven from working on d-i,
  which is an attitude to be frowned upon, but so be it.

To which i respond something along the lines of :

  I truefully regret that it took so long to get a fair resolution of
  this conflict, and that the d-i leadership rejected my repeated offers
  of conciliation, as well as the proposal of an in-RL meeting at
  FOSDEM. I will not pursue this issue, and work outside of the d-i
  framework for the part of the d-i related work i do. 

  I sincerely regret that i had to write so many mails, and thus have
  bothered so many of the DDs, and sincerely present my apologies for
  this, but i saw no other way out, and even asking for help, and trying
  alternatives like the wiki pages didn't help.

  From now on i will makes amends, and go back to contributing positive
  technical stuff, and stop being a nuissance.

Everyone is happy, except those few who can't feel satisfied without
full bloody victory and will never recognize that just maybe they have
some part of responsability in this, but i guess everyone will have only
pity and contempt for those, and not allow them to hurt the project and
fellow DDs like they did in the future, and everyone will go back to
happily coding ever after.

Easy, isn't it, and an honourable and honest thing to do. Why is it so
easy ? And why do so many feel that the only response to this is hate
and rejection, and (ab)use of force and power to solve this ? 

It all could have been solved a year ago, if there was a real will for
it. I know i showed such a will, but it was not matched by the other
side.

As you say, it takes two to argue, but it also takes two for
reconciliation ...

Saddened,

Sven Luther

Another level of agression ?

2007-05-27 Thread Sven Luther
Hi all, 

Well, in the ever continuing witch hunt against me, i just noticed,
while i was working on a patch fix for the debian kernel, that i have
been removed from the alioth kernel team.

There was nothing in the judgement of the DAMs which mandated this, and
this is again the repetition of what has been happening since all this
time.

This is now a call to all DDs, to come forward, with a GR if possible,
and put a stop to this, and revert the DAMs decision, which was a
*STUPID* decision, removing my ability to do technical contributions to
debian, while not solving the perceived problem of my mailing list
contributions, which was only a consequence of the repeated agression on
my technical capability to contribute to debian.

Sam, i now ask you as DPL, to set up a social comitte or whatever, and
investigate the behaviour of those who continuously have agressed me in
this way, so they are also blamed for their responsability in this.

It is really a shame, that debian is unable to solve such problems by
discussion, and that a few people believe they are the masters of the
debian infrastructure, and can make everything they want with it, in
order to pursue personal vendettas.

No, it has nothing to do with it. There is no justification for removing
me from the the alioth kernel team, and even less in doing so silently.

This is what started all this, over a year ago, the d-i team has
removed me from the the d-i alioth team, while my mother was dying,
without even trying to speak with me, later they did some stuff with the
ftp-masters to stop me from uploading .udebs, and then i got banned from
the lists, and then they restarted the expulsion provess.

Each time they did one more level of agression while i was trying to be
constructively contributing despite their agression.

 You know, a contribution is generally regarded as something that adds

Exact, which is why i ask you to oppose the current way of dealing with
me, which hurts my positive contibutions, and forcing me to only do
negatively perceived ones.

I ask thus the debian project, to revoke the DAMs supsension, to
reinstate my d-i and kernel svn commit rights, and to remove the special
case ban on my uploads, and let me be a normal DD.

Then you can judge me, and see if i still have something to complain
about or not.

 There was 2 mediation attempts between you and the debian-installer

There where no mediations. The first took full one-sided position with
the d-i folk, and put frans as judge of my good behaviour, while saying
nothing about his behaviour. I objected to this, but in the end played
the game, fixing over 30 bugs under the first mediation, and it only
resulted in frans bashing me in bug reports, telling me to FUCK OFF, and
finally asking the ftp-master to remove my .udeb upload right, *WHILE MY
RIGHT TO UPLOAD .UDEBS WAS DEFINED IN THE FIRST MEDIATION*

The second mediation, well, i challenge you to find something to
reproach me during its period which would justify the 2 month ban,
because half the DDs if not more have done much worse than i have during
*THAT TIME*.

 team.  Both came to similar conclusions.  When this didn't satisfy, the
 DAMs finally decided that you'd be temporarily suspended.  Do you

Nope. When Frans or someone else saw my DPL candidacy, they decided to
play mafioso politicks and ask for my expulsion. The DAMS have not
followed their own procedure, have manipulated the requests, so the
reality of what happened did not show up, used mails from over a year
ago to justify the expulsion, and have not, despite numerous requests
from me and others, provided fully signed and dated copies of the
support mails.

 *really* think that all your repeated complaints will help your case?

Well, what else will help me. As was the case a year ago, i was happily
trying to fix a bug, and *DISCOVERED* i had been removed. The same
happened for the expulsion, i made effort to go to FOSDEM, bring
hardware for the debian booth, proposed a talk, so we could discuss the
kernel future also with the d-i team, instead of the deaf-dialog that
was happening, and they chose to expulse me. 

James Troup even spoke with me, fully knowing they would try to expulse
me, and said nothing about it.

The DDs have expressed a strong opposition to the expulsion of over
70:7, and the DAMs plainly ignored this.

Right, what would that gain ? In a year, i would again be the subject of

again.

Also, each and everyone of the repeated complaints you critic was

it is just a repetition of what has been done to me since over a year,
and which no single other DD suffered.

If it would be done to anyone but me, you would cry in outrage, then why
not do so now ? Because there are too many hidden powers involved ?

  Hi all, 
  
  Well, in the ever continuing witch hunt against me, i just noticed,

  been removed from the alioth kernel team.
  
  There was nothing in the judgement of the DAMs which mandated this,
  and this is again the repetition of what has been happening since all
  this time.
 
 If you paid any attention, you would have noticed that the DAMs have no
 particular sway over alioth.  It is not tied to any of the regular
 Debian infrastructure outside of the automatic creation of alioth
 accounts for DDs.  There is no way the DAMs could have removed your

Sure, my point was that this action was not a result of the DAMs
decision, so it is another gratuitous agression against me, which means
that instead of coding kernel patches, we have another flamewar which
looses everyone's time.

This is the exact schema of what has happened innumerable times since
last year, where some guys have abused their debian powers to get the
upper hand in their private vendetta, and i get all the blame.

Again, i now ask that all the restrictions and punishments against me
are lifted, and that my right to do positive contributions is restored,
and that debian stops behaving 'unfairly' toward me, as both Wouter, the
DAMs and both last DPLs have recognized the unfairness of this.

 access - it would have had to have been done by either an alioth admin
 or an admin member of the kernel team.  Since I am fairly sure that the
 alioth admins have better things to do with their time (witness the last
 36 hours on #alioth), if I were you, I would ask the people who are
 admins on the kernel team project, and stop tilting at imaginary
 windmills.

well, the facts remain, and this is just one step more in a long series
of agression and vengeance, of people who want to take away my
capabilities to contribute to debian because of some private axe they
want to grind with me.

So, let's all together ensure that we don't pass another year in this
mess, with ever increasing levels of disruption, and please let me just
do positive constructive to debian.

If you want to blame someone for these flamewars, blame those who are
really responsible for it, who provoked and harrased me sinceover a year
now, and refused each and every attempt at trying to solve it.

Sam, as DPL i ask you, invite me to debconf, and let's have an in real
life solution to this. Everyone except those opposing me, recognize that
i am not the sole responsible of this mess, and that Debian has acted
unfairly toward me.

Let's be courageous, and find a solution to this which will not
increment the hate and disruption, but be fair and just instead, in
order for debian to again be something we are proud of.

Saddened,

Sven Luther

  Yes i have, nobody answered, except Bastian Blank who has no clue about
  this.
  
  But should i really have to ask ?
 
 Yes.  Simply because otherwise you cannot find out the reason.

As if people would tell me the truth. I have to this day not received
the dates of the expulsion support mails, and nobody of the expulsers
has admitted that they restarted the expulsion process because i
presented myself as DPL.

Face it, Debian has become a place of corruption, lies, caloumny and
shady dealings.

  If it would be done to anyone but me, you would cry in outrage, then why
  not do so now ? Because there are too many hidden powers involved ? 
 
 Thanks for knowing how I would react.  Maybe I should ask you whenever
 I'm in a situation where I don't know how to act.

But you did not stop in telling me how i should behave, made your
diagnostic of madness, and asked me to see a psychiatrist, right ? 

 I belive you're wrong, fwiw.

Then i would be happy to be shown wrong, but the facts have shown me
that Debian has always gone out of its way to hurt me, so what do you

For the record, i did ask on #debian-kernel, and got no reply, and when
asked, Bastian Blank did say he didn't know who did it, and Stephan
Gran, and Roland Mas, who are admining alioth, know, but don't want to
say.

When i asked Frederik Schuler about his support of the expulsion
procedure, and tried to speak with him, he never responded to me, and in
the so called kernel team, are Manoj and Martin Michlmayr, who both
where among those wanting to stop me from candidating as DPL earlier on.

You perfectly know what shady dealings go about in debian, since you are
among those old timers who know what is going on, so don't try to hide
behind nice words.

 Have you asked on debian-kernel what's going on?

BTW, Martin, you ask me to ask, but did any of those of the other side
of the witch hunt against me ever try to speak to me ? 

Did Andres speak to me about what he disliked in my behaviour before
asking for my expulsion ? No, the first notice i had about it was when
he quoted an out-of-context irc quote in last year's DPL debate ? 

Did Frederik, or Martin, speak to me in february, before supporting the
expulsion, while i was silent on the lists because of the self-enforced
ban ? No, they did not.

Did any of those who posted hateful and agressive, and partly false and
calomnious material as support for the expulsion ever try to speak to
me about this ? No, they did not ? 

Did James Troup, or all the others among the hateful expulsers, or those
who where aware of it try to speak with me in RL at FOSDEM ? Espcially
James Troup in his position as DAM, and given the fact that i exchanged
a few words with him a day after they sent the expulsion email to me
which got lost on the debian mail server and only reached me a few days
later when Joerg pinged me on irc ? No they did not.

Did anyone who knew i proposed an in-face meeting during FOSDEM say,
this is a good idea, let's try to arange this, and finally solve this
issue and be happy coding ever after ? No they did not.

Did anyone say, we missed the FOSDEM chance, let's not miss debconf, and
arrange a discussion about it there and solve it ? No they did not.

... With one exception, and that is Joerg, who told me on the phone at
the start of january that he would personally sit with Frans and me in a
room at debconf, and try to solve the issue, but then a month or so
later, when i candidated as DPL, and frans and co again tried to expulse
me, while i had not posted a single mail except my DPL candidacy, it was
forgotten ...

So, you ask me to speak to people, to the selfsame people who chose to
hurt me *AND MY DEBIAN WORK AND THUS OUR USERS*, and who did never try
to speka to me, and who mostly chose to not reply to the numerous
attempts at conciliation and resolution of this problem i made.

What do you think i will gain by doing this ? And by the way :

  16:30:30  svenl hi all.
  16:30:38  svenl I wonder who removed me from the kernel alioth team ?
  ...
  17:55:11  svenl waldi: do you know who removed me from the kernel
  alioth team ?
  17:57:44  waldi nope

No answer yet, and :

  ...
  18:34:33  sgran svenl was removed by an admin member of the
  kernel project team
  18:34:59  sgran I am not going to answer questions about who it was,
  that will need to be argued about on a different IRC channel
  18:49:33  sgran I have already /msg'ed the person responsible, and
  told them to let you know it was them
  18:49:47  sgran but they say they don't remember doing it
  ...

So the person who did it is perfectly aware of the problem, and could
have chosen to respond to this, but they chose not to.

Both logs are related. Waldi removed you from the kernel team at the

[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't look like a personal vendetta but rather a cleanup of the team
membership based on contributions in the last monthes. Stop escalating
your personal problems with the whole project.

Notice that if Stefan had told me that, instead of hiding it, i would
have asked Bastian, and it would have gone no further.

Notice also, that it was not even me who asked on #alioth, and that
things could have gotten much cleaner with transparency and
communication.

Finally, i just notice that the alioth admin team apparently saw no
problem in filing the full log of the time i removed jonas from svn
shortly before cebit 2006, which didn't lead to any consequence, and as
thus directly contributed to witch hunt against me, so, two weights, two
mesures ? 

And notice the difference, here responding transparently would have
diffused a potential problem, while back then, the info was provided
explicitly to contribute to the agression against me.

 PS: I don't disclose this for you (after all you managed to annoy the
 Alioth admins this afternoon by insinuating that we're part of a
 conspiracy and you even threatened to attack one of us in a French court)
 but for the other persons who are wondering what happened. 

How fun how things get out of hand, Stef mentioned that nothing could
force him to reveal that information, and i made mention of a french law
about computer database, and how it allowed anyone to ask for the data
concerning him in any database, and that this could be used to obtain
such information.

Notice how you transform this into me threatening to attach you in a
court, which is typical of how all this has gone. The most minor thing i
say is taken out of proportion, and i get strongly bashed for it, and it
becomes the summit of evilness, while all that is done to me is ignored
or minimized.

But then, i know since we spoke at the end of Solution Linux, that
concience and honestity are not sentiments which you care all that much
about.

This does change nothing. I ask that my svn and kernel commit access be
restored, that the DAM's decision to suspend me be lifted, and that the
Debian project tries to find a honest and fair solution to this mess
which has caused innumerable flamewars and angryness and loss of time
since over a year now.

 I'm rather shocked that waldi removed people from commit access without

 14 days later.

If it is him, the fact that Stephen chose not to say who it was put some
heavy doubt about these events, and given my experience, i am expecting
