Overfiend aka Branden Robinson is New DPL!


STOP press! HOT off #debian-devel on irc.freenode.net. Brendan Robinson wins DPL Elections 2005. After successive failed runs the past 4 years. Overfiend finally wins the fifth time around. Congratulations Branden! Send your best wishes to Brendan on #debian-devel now. He missed the announcement on #debian-devel earlier in the evening because he accompanied his wife to hospital

Foloowing page not updated yet but contains detailed description of electoral proceedure/process.

As expected Jonathan Walther has the dubious honor of finishing last and below NOTA.

-:- Topic (#debian-devel): changed by shaya: Overfiend wins! (He was at hospital with his wife),
don't bother asuffield by congratulating him(but bother asuffield is fun!))

Interesting bits from Overfiend on discovering the frightening news that he has won at last:

<Overfiend> shit load of msgs
<Overfiend> uh
* Overfiend/#debian-devel stares for a moment.
<Overfiend> holy blap
<Overfiend> you will forgive me if I'm having difficulty making the necessary context switch
<Overfiend> I actually did not expect to win.
<Overfiend> and part of me suspects this is a late April Fools' prank
Overfiend/#debian-devel opens the window
* Overfiend/#debian-devel reads Manoj's graph
<Overfiend> I was planning to crack open a bottle of Glenfiddich so I could feel sorry for myself about losing the election again, and about my wife still being in the hospital.
<Overfiend> But one of those reasons is now gone.
<Overfiend> okay, so my "DPL crown" gets to be a dunce cap, same as I've worn for the past 7 years anyway
