The Debian project has been running an election for the past six weeks to determine the new Debian Project Leader. And now the results are in, and Lucas Nussbaum was re-elected . Congrats to Mr. Nussbaum , and good luck to you, sir!

As always in Debian, the result of the voting was determine using the Condorcet method in which each voter ranks the candidates from high to low preference.

Mr. Nussbaum will steer the ship as Debian prepares its upcoming release ( Jessie ), whose release goals include lots of security hardening.

And I use Bodhi, which is an Ubuntu derivative, so also a Debian beneficiary. Debian is hugely important. I wish they'd do a bit of marketing and outreach though. I'm pretty handy with Linux and even I am apprehensive about installing Debian because I think/believe/suspect it's hard to install. That's almost certainly not the case, but that rumor has stuck in my mind.

But, what an awesome distro. And apt-get is one of the best things ever invented. I also use openSUSE and I much prefer apt-get as a package manager. Ian, you kick ass!
