This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):
>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.
>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time
>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males
>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verification
Her only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.
The election is underway right now, and Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above). Current DPL Andreas Tille has proposed rejecting all non-signed emails after the goyim redpilled too many voters in the mailing list kek

What does it take to be able to vote? Do I need to be an active developer? I use Debian but have never contributed to it, nor do I have any record of participating in anything on their forums ow whatever.
It says you can request a ballot by sending a "signed email" to some address, what's that supposed to mean?

My guess is debian will still be fine for a while because the dev teams will likely keep everything running just as it was before. This will be more political/long term damage. Essentially you're getting to watch a project being subverted in real time. She will just do whatever her masters want her to and steer the ship wherever they tell her. Debian is a pretty big part of the Linux ecosystem so this doesn't surprise me. Hopefully they tell her to fuck off and die but if they let her in power we can expect to see everything become cucked, not just libtarded cucked (debian already is and has been this for a long time and it hasn't really manifested in the end product) but you'll actually just see a bunch of horrible anti-user anti-debian decisions being made probably for some hidden corporate agenda.
This is a project subversion attempt plain as day and they've been trying for a long time now

It's more likely that it'll just slowly get harder and harder to keep using packages it used to offer, it'll offer fewer packages, support less hardware, be harder to fork, and any user who complains they'll call a nazi.

cucks, all of them! voted a woman into power. the jeeta cant do damage if them dont go along with her shit ideas, but still.

Isn't it just 1 year? Will Debian 14 even be out before the next election? Doesn't seem like enough time to do permanent damage. I'm using 13 on my server but it is completely configured as I want it and can probably survive years with no updates needed worst case scenario.

Debian 14 probably won't be out before the next election. I'm still confused on how much damage she can actually do. Tried to ask this guy >>108626355 but no response yet. It is true that the DPL is not the king, but she does have access to the org's funds and can appoint people to powerful positions. But there are checks and balances for her as well. I'm just hoping she's completely incompetent and they just step around her.

So unfortunate to see state actors/retards/indians taking the diversity word to not only worsen open source projects but also tarnish the image of true diverse groups within those same projects (which never never had a problem with diversity in the first place other than redditors and bsky users)
pretty great to know any fucking RETARD can apply and win the elections if you had one panel at debconf

read between the lines, the cunt is just saying she plans to bring in all her brothers/cousins/sisters/in-laws, landlords, personal deli shop owner, street food chefs, curry packers, etc. For as dumb as they are westerns manage to be even dumber allowing them in charge and handing over the diversity balnket to cover for their nepotism.

I’m not too worried about jeet invasion. Debian is kind of immune to this because it’s too poor. In Red Hat, for example, a jeet lead can invite more jeets for salary. But Debian can offer only dick without sugar.

>my work laptop has debian installed
Should I switch ASAP? Where do we go for things to just werk?
>ubuntu and derivatives
Debian-based
>arch and derivatives
Not gonna fix X every other day. Not on a work laptop. Eyeballing le based Artix tho.
>gentoo
Honestly considering this, having used in on a home PC for years
>RHEL/fedora
Sure it glows, but maybe OK for work? Can ask for an RHEL license, already have it on our servers.
Shit's getting grim boyos.

>how much damage she can actually do
her role is administrative and social rather than technical; she can appoint some delegates for the publicity and the treasury team; resolve conflicts and "define the vision" of the project (in her case, diversity), she has also public responsibilities (which i think are the reason no one wants that position): interviews, writing updates, representing the project at conferences and building partnershipts.
the DPL doesnt have technical power, and is put into check massively by the body of the develolopers (DD) that can veto any decison she takes and by the technical committee (TC) that actually holds the technical mandate and power to resolve and override maintainers decisions.

>>108629192
She is going to bankrupt the Debian Project lmao, she plans to throw the entire treasury at India. And the cuck developers let this happen because of suicidal empathy; they didn't want to be the racists that NOTA'd a morbidly obese brown woman.
