Three candidates vying to be DPL


The annual Debian project leader (DPL) election is well underway at this point; voting begins in early April and the outcome will be known after the polls close on April 18. Outgoing DPL Sam Hartman posted a lengthy "non-platform" in the run-up to the election, which detailed the highs and lows of his term, perhaps providing something of a roadmap, complete with pitfalls, for potential candidates—Hartman is not running again this time. When the nomination period completed, three people put their hats into the ring: Jonathan Carter, Sruthi Chandran, and Brian Gupta. Their platforms have been posted and there have been several threads on the debian-vote mailing list with questions for the candidates; it seems like a good time to look in on the race.
After the call for nominations went out, Carter posted a self-nomination that was rather longer than the usual message of that type. Hartman was concerned that his "not running" message might have influenced the length of Carter's "thoughtful message"—and set too high of a bar for others who might want to nominate themselves. Carter assured Hartman that his posting (and its length) had no bearing on the self-nomination, however.
