Summary: Debian is turning 30 (in September next year) and it needs to change direction in order to attract volunteers like it did back in the 1990s

THE Debian operating system is facing a potential crisis. There’s a shortage of new contributors and it seems to be getting worse. The Debian Account Managers (DAMs) and Project Leaders (DPLs) should recognise a need for change, and probably a change that takes into account what truly pisses off existing and prospective developers. Leadership matters a lot. Leaders make or break the project. They seem to have banished or alienated a lot of valuable contributors because the people put in charge misused power. I say more in the video above. █
