Debian and its clones iTWire interviews the newly-elected Debian Project Leader, Steve McIntyre. "A few days back, the project concluded its elections for the year and Steve McIntyre emerged as the victor in a three-cornered contest. McIntyre may well be the most watched elected official of a non-profit group - the direction the project takes is of vital concern to a great many businesses."

we have a very strong Release Team


All I can say - as an outsider but long time [~9 years] user - is that those guys would need an un-imaginably large pat on the backs for their work.

"Debian is dying because we've not heard anything"


Well, as I've come to get accustomed to, silence there usually means the mills are running at full capacity. Too much noise often meant exploding debates and longish argument-exchanges but, in the end, stable was always trustable and testing has always been up-to-date and usually more stable than lots of other hyped distros [yes, that is my opinion].

This time [leader election] is always a good opportunity to look back and respect the road they[Debian]'ve come along, their contribution has been huge, no matter if you just look at Debian itself, or the spinoffs that used their base.
