Since my thoughts have been pretty much summed up far better than I
could, I'd like to refer to Stefano's answers, as - apart from the
experience bits, as I obviously have no DPL experience - are very much
like my own would have been.

I'm redirecting this thread to d-project... You and I tend to think
about money very much DebConf-wise (specially in the March-July period
;-) ), but I think this is going away from the current d-vote
topic. Please reply to this message to d-project only.

There's been work on making Debian's monetary details more transparent,

this is something that will

Well, most of the Debian monetary assets are held by SPI, and the SPI
reports their assets publicly (the board meeting minutes), so this

Hi,
This is a question for all candidates.
Over the years, I've always been very surprised to see that there's very
little money that Debian is able to get. I'm convinced that this
situation could change with a bit of involvement from the DPL, and that
such money could help a lot the project.
