> Hi,
This is the first call for votes on the DPL election of 2023.
Voting period starts 2023-04-01 00:00:00 UTC
Votes must be received by 2023-04-14 23:59:59 UTC
This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secretary@debian.org.
The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2023/platforms/
Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
ballot@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2023".
To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.
HOW TO VOTE
First, read the full text of the platform.
You might also want to read discussions with the candidates at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/
To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:
leader2023@vote.debian.org
The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.
There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.
You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.
To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None of the above" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None of the above"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
"None of the above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None of the above" choice by the voting software).
Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2023@vote.debian.org.
Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.
NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.
The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.
VOTING SECRECY
This is a secret vote. After the voting period there will be a record
of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list.
VOTING FORM
> The first call for votes for the 2023 Debian Project Leader election has gone out. The campaigning was easy to miss this year, for one simple reason: the current incumbent, Jonathan Carter, is running unopposed for another term. That suggests that turnout will be low this time but, as several developers have pointed out, there is still value in voting; it clarifies whether Carter still has the support of the project.
