The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux Logo chosen

I must have missed something, because I am sure that the Debian Logo is not 
something which would be decided without calling some kind of vote of the 
Debian Developers, etc.  If someone could please feel me in, I am confused why 
Bruce has suddenly decided to post a decision message on this before any kind 
of formal vote took place.  I hope this situation is quickly cleared up.

I was only out of touch for Thanksgiving break, how much could I have missed.
