How?
I believe those values should be some of the first things we tell about
us on our website. Something along the lines of debian is a
distribution ..., which is free the bottom up (both in its software and
in its infrastructure) and which is completely do-ocratic and
democratic. That is not exactly how I'd write it on a website, nor it
is a specific call of the DPL. However, *proposing* something like this
to the WWW team is something I intend to do, if elected.
Cheers.

Things will obviously have changed. But, if we look back to 1993 when Debian started, a lot of things were different; however, the spirit of the distrubution remains. And I think that into the future it could be like that as well. Things will change, it's inevitable, it's expected, it's bound to happen. But we can always adapt into keeping Debian current, keeping Debian a great distribution for everybody, keep working on making the best possible OS. I'm not sure this matters too much for the DPL election, since the DPL role lasts only one year, though. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'd like Debian to be *THE* renowned distribution in terms of:
- freeness (a distro which is free the bottom up, not only in the
software it ships, but also in the infrastructure it builds upon)
- democracy (a distro in which decisions are taken either do-ocratically
or democratically, by all its members, i.e. where company money does
not count in decision making)
In fact, we are already quite peculiar in both above two points, but we
are often not seen as such because we are not particularly good at
communicating them. I'd like Debian to fix that way earlier than 10
years from now :-)
Additionally, in ten years I'd like Debian to be:
- the most fun distro to contribute to
- the distro which drives innovation in the dpkg-half of the world
(assuming the distro world will still be split between dpkg/rpm 10
years from now ...)
- the center of an ecosystem of derivative distributions where each
derivative collaborates daily with Debian in a mutual exchange of
patches that benefit all parties
Cheers.

Our biggest competitor is not the proprietary operating systems anymore, it is all the closed-source gratis online applications. Debian, as a universal operating system that provides the applications on the server and the tools to access them on the terminal, is a necessary answer to that threat. In 10 years, when people say “I am using Debian”, I would like that they mean that Debian is powering both ends of the software chain they use, that they chose it because the software is free, because they trust our Project, and because we provided easy ways to set up application servers in local communities.
