    Nope, can't have been.

    The last amendment (before mine) was accepted on March 30th, which means the earliest a vote can be called with a shortened 1 week discussion period is April 7th.

    Any CFV before then is invalid.

    The DPL changing the *minimum* discussion period is a minimum only, it

    Craig, if you make this a new separate GR I will be glad to sponsor it.

    Do you (or anybody actually) have a idea how to deal best with the old RMS
    GR if this one is formally accepted?

    One option would be to run both in parallel.

    The anti-witch-hunt option would have been option [G] had there not been
    a public request that someone should call for a vote 1.5 hours after the unsigned version of this amendment was proposed, it would sound logical
    to ask for it to be voted at the same time even now that it has been
    forced to turn this into a separate GR.

    For the record, I would like to state that Kurt is doing the right

    If decisions made by people other than Kurt make it impossible for this

    oh wow, a discussion. and a discussion has the power to change debian's constitution?


    in any case: it will be wonderful to see Debian commit Libel against Richard Stallman, The FSF, and the individual board members of the FSF.

    Like, has anyone actually read that open letter on github.io? There are numerous actionable libels against all of those parties.


    I hope the supporters of this GR are willing to be personally liable, since they're the ones pushing for it.

    No. As Kurt pointed out earlier (https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2021/04/msg00117.html) no
    amendment was accepted yet, so the minimum discussion time wasn't reset.

    Anyhow, in any doubt, the interpretation of our constitution in this
    regard is all up to Kurt by virtue of the current delegation.

    That does not seem right. The submission arrived during the discussion
    period and was only formally deficient, yes?

    Since the discussion period was already shortened and we also rely on
    a particular reading of unclear wording in the constitution, I think
    it would further the sense of democratic expression to accept Craig's submission.

    As an additional consideration, Craig's proposal joins a much smaller
    set of options on the side favoring Richard Stallman, which leads to
    greater balance among the options presented on the ballot.

    Kind regards

    Kurt is right on that, but it might have been more helpful if he had
    copied the relevant part of our constitution:

    A formal amendment may be accepted by the resolution's proposer, in
    which case the formal resolution draft is immediately changed to match.

    If a formal amendment is not accepted, or one of the sponsors of the
    resolution does not agree with the acceptance by the proposer of a
    formal amendment, the amendment remains as an amendment and will be
    voted on.

    There was actually no signed amendment before the call for vote.
    But it still requires at least 5 people the sponsor it.

    Since the discussion period was already shortened and we also rely on
    a particular reading of unclear wording in the constitution, I think
    it would further the sense of democratic expression to accept Craig's submission.

    If you really think we need more options, you will need to have

    I'd sponsor this if this were actually neutrally worded like "Debian refuses to participate in the discussion of Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation,
    and the members of the board of the Free Software Foundation."

    Though even that is a statement.

    Just like naming of GNU, it's not what it is.

    Quite fits OSS philosophy, so I'd probably vote for this if it becomes
    an official option.

    Considering that you have already driven Norbert off once, could you please stop? Or better, actually put some of your energy to technical
    contributions -- something Debian really needs.

    Lol, "trot" off dude.

    Comparing measurable contributions (like, uploads or BTS stats) of you vs Norbert, I'd say that with damage you've done, excluding just him alone for
    a few months would take years of work for the net to not be negative.

    Poor poor Norbert, so oppressed, you think he needs help of people like
    you. No, as much as I would want, he is way more capable than that, the
    kind of person one needs to be careful about.

    BTW, your amazingly stupid retort to number of contributions reminds me
    of another character that is also fanning the flames in this list (and
    also was on my bingo card, I am on a roll!!) and that for years made
    sure that all my efforts to make the golang team work better went to the crapper.

    Spreading some toxic _exclusive_ ideology in the name of "inclusion" isn't helpful. I understand that you want Debian to be safe for contributors, but your actual actions are anything but.


    Thus: let's work together? Like, for example, I'd be glad to invite you to my usual haunt: https://bugs.debian.org/sponsorship-requests -- there's a huge backlog of golang related requests, which I for one can't answer (I don't speak golang), and no other sponsor has stepped up to either.
    I believe this is an important task for building the community -- Debian
    will dry out unless we can see that the work of new contributors gets reviewed and accepted on a timely basis.

    LOL, you are amusing some times.

    Personally, I would've ignored an unsolicited post like that and deleted
    it. Not that I'm telling you that's what you should've done, but you
    don't have to feel responsible to reply to everything that lands inside
    your inbox.

    On a broader level, please don't forward private mails to public lists,
    it's bad behaviour that we should really stomp out within Debian. If you receive a mail that happens to be abusive, please rather forward it to
    CT and DAM rather than giving someone the exact type of attention that
    they might have been seeking in a public forum.
