Bits from the DPL Sam Hocevar DebConf’07 Edinburgh, June 17th 2007
Why I am here  because I’m so handsome  because I’m so brilliant  because you voted for me! (why, oh why?)  a sexier distribution  a more efficient project (and you want it too, it seems)
Why a sexier distribution?  because we are not alone
Why a sexier distribution?  because we are not alone
Why a sexier distribution?  because we are not alone  because it is what our users want 10 N = Now.Year() + 1 20 Print N + “ will be the year of the OpenSource desktop, maybe” 30 Wait.Years(1) 40 Goto 10  not just a launch menu  documentation, translations, integration, screenshots, user-friendliness, icons, themes, eye-candy, QA
The next Debian  faster release cycles  more frequent point releases  bigger point releases  kFreeBSD, armel, Solaris (?)  multiarch  ... and a lot of cool, sexy new stuff
Why a more efficient project?  we’re not doing that bad  but a few things can improve everything
Our core teams  they have been doing the same thing on a nearly daily basis for years  they’re overwhelmed  joining is not easy  I’m working on that!  but you can also help by finding ways to work around them  it gets things done  it gets things done faster  it relieves them from some of the work
Stop owning packages  being is charge is OK, merely owning is not  e-mails are not hostile acts  bug reports are not hostile acts  NMUs are not hostile acts!  famous Wikipedia policy: be bold  honestly, what can’t you undo?  do more NMUs!
What if you get hit by a comet?  the whole universe disappears  the whole universe struggles to survive without you
You can “die” in many ways  you simply lose interest  you have exams  you move  a billionaire hires you  you have kids  you get married  people also really die :-(  IOW, real life gets you
Make it easier for Debian  shorter release cycles == lower tolerance for delays == higher impact of inactivity  there’s nothing wrong with doing  but please, don’t make it hard for Debian when you’re not here  use Alioth!  give write access to more people!
Take back from others  take back .desktop files  take back translations  take back their people !  make it easier for translators, artists and documentation writers to join and contribute to Debian  we don’t want that evil non-free tool? OK, let’s find another way
Communicate  within Debian  don’t assume no one cares  it’s better to have a public place for everything  with other distributions  they are not hard to reach  share problems, ideas, patches
Thanks !  any questions?  have a pleasant DebConf! Slides available here: http://sam.zoy.org/lectures/
