[all candidates] Debian as an FSF Free Software Distribution

2013-03-14 Thread Paul Tagliamonte
Hello, DPL'ers, What work will you be doing to continue Zach's efforts to negotiate with the FSF over Debian's status as a Free Software Distribution? Will you treat this issue as a priority? Can we expect continued open dialogue with the FSF on this issue? Would you be willing to help find the

onfirming the interpretation of any GR which mentions the word init as vacating the default init TC decision is nuts. This would be a position statement about coupling, not default init, and it seems that this is to be interpreted as triggering the clause, as noted by it's author. -- .'&

I agree. I also don't know if this is something we can just do with the DPL or not. The name master isn't great, as is ftp. No one has suggested a name yet. If this was my proposal, I'd suggest the debian archive team. Why can't we just change the name without a GR between the ftpteam and DPL?

I'd ask the DPL candidates to speak a bit about how they intend to represent Debian externally -- both in terms out downstream outreach, as well as upstream (or even side-stream) relations. What sort of plans do you have to collaborate with other F/OSS communities? Other distros? Realtedly, what
