Yes, as long as his personal beliefs are kept outside of Debian. I
think a severe warning to keep his politics outside of Debian
would be sufficient.

Trust me. He has recieved this.

Fortunately, his politics -- whatever they are -- were never part of
Debian.

We're talking about material he put on his own private unadvertised
webpage. The only reason that anyone knows that Jonathan even has this
stuff online and is also a Debian developer is because Paul Bowman
took it upon himself to spend a night researching this and then
advertising it to the world.

You're right of course. Debian is an explicitly apolitical
organization and he cannot use the Debian name or Debian resources to
represent or further his personal non-software political
agenda. Neither can anyone else.

Now, the use of his debian.org email address in the whois entry for
the site that hosted *might* imply a connection. An initial informal
strawpoll implies that this is probably the case in the minds of most
developers. It looks like there will probably be a general resolution
on the use of debian.org email addresses that will put this issue to
rest.

I for one will be thrilled when this happens. There have been *way*
too many cycles spent on this within Debian and within Oekonux.

Mako
