He has let an identity, real or not, slip in another discussion some
weeks ago. If I could be bothered, I'm sure I could find it in the
archives. It's not exactly a secret, and he's not Eray.

Bdale publically claimed at LCA that he has been asked for and provided
advice to every DPL since Ian Jackson (I think that's the one). I'm sure
he's not the only one to have provided advice to a DPL over the years,
as only a fool makes decisions in isolation. Has anyone seen minutes,
transcripts or logs for any of those meetings, or feel that they need to
see them? I see no difference here except that Project Scud are being
forthright about whose advice is already being considered.

The DPL has personal responsibility, regardless of what group of people
come up with the advice. Let him decide who he trusts, ask for rationale
for decisions if you wish. If you don't like the decisions he makes,
vote for someone else next time. If you *really* don't like them, GR.

Don't kid yourself, he might not be a new kid on the block.  For all we
know, he might be Eray in disguise...  His obfuscated identity is obviously
being done on purpose.  For which purpose, well, only he knows for sure.

I hope I'm not alone when I say that you hiding behind such a laughable
email address concerns me.

If you want to be part of the Debian community (and posting to -project
pretty much indicates that), you should get a real name and email
address now.


thanks,

the point is, a DPL as a single person, may have "confidential" meetings 
with himself, and nobody bothers. But when it's a group of person ... 
whoa ... that's now a big deal !

So please, scud is not popular in all the community, but when you want 
to attack it, find real reasons.

It is not ideal as Branden says. But I prefer closed groups who does
some work to Anonymous Cowards who just complains. I'm all for
openness but my experience shows me that closely knit groups with
clear responsabilities does work better than fully open mailling
lists.

I hope I'm not alone when I say that this confidentiality and seemingly
crass "Besserwisser" tone concerns me. Because I am not experienced
with the politics of Debian, this is all I will say.

In closing, I hope that not all leadership by this team will be
conducted with this attitude and I hope I misunderstood this e-mail.

Could abridged logs be made available with the content that is
sensitive redacted?[1] (Ideally with a notation that content has been
redacted.)

That would help increase the transparency of the group and eliminate
the need for you all to prepare public minutes,[2] as any other
interested party could prepare their own.


Don Armstrong

1: If needed, I volunteer to help facilitate this, but it may be best
for the current members to handle it.
2: Not that they couldn't still be prepared by the attendees, of
course.
