“OLinux: How excited you are about being in
front of the Debian Project? Do you have something in mind for the
Debian Project? Are you going to make changes on the way the work
is done?”
“Ben Collins: I’m extrememly excited. This is
my third run at the DPL position, and it is a goal I have finally
achieved thanks completely to those in the project that have faith
in my ability to handle the job. I have plans to clean up some
loose ends that have been plaguing our internal organisation for
some time. After this, I plan to tackle some of the more difficult
situations that still linger, or are threatening to be a problem in
the near future.”
“OLinux: What are going to be the diferences
between your lidership and the predecessor’s?”
“Ben Collins: When I first came to Debian, Ian
Jackson was finishing his term as DPL, and he was very innactive
(to his defense, I do not know any details of his situation).
Wichert then followed for two terms. I believe he did an excellent
job keeping Debian going. However, my plans are to get Debian
moving rather than continue to limp along with some of the problems
we face.”
