ONE OF the open sauce project Debian's significant champions, Matthew Garrett has quit over the way things are being run.

Writing in his bog, Garrett moans about how rude the Debian outfit is and how slow it is at making decisions.

He compares Debian unfavorably to Ubuntu which is increasingly attracting more Debian developers.

Garrett was quite important in the Debian circles and was tipped as project leader last year. One of the reasons that Garrett left, was that he got miffed at the way the outfit tried to resolve technical problems with 'Free for all' discussions. He said he much prefers Ubuntu's more formal structure and Ubuntu's code of conduct.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
