+
+In accordance with its constitution, the Debian Project has just elected
+Javier Merino Cacho as Debian Project Leader.
+
+More than 80% of voters put him as their first choice (or equal first) on
+their ballot papers.
+
+Javier's large majority over his opponents shows how his inspiring vision for
+the future of the Debian project is largely shared by the other developers.
+Lucas Nussbaum and Neil McGovern also gained a lot of support from Debian
+project members, both coming many votes ahead of the None of the above ballot
+choice.
+Javier has been a Debian Developer since February 2012 and, among other
+packages, works on keeping the mercurial package under control, as mercury is
+very poisonous for trouts.
+
+After it was announced that he had won this year's election, Javier said: I'm
+flattered by the trust that Debian members have put in me. One of the main
+points in my platform is to remove the "Debian is old and boring" image.  In
+order to change that, my first action as DPL is to encourage all Debian
+Project Members to wear a clown red nose in public.
+
+Among others, the main points of his platform <link to platform> are mainly
+related to improve the communication style in mailing lists (through an
+innovative filter called "aponygisator"), to make Debian less "old and
+boring", as well as solve technical issues among developers with barehanded
+fights (betting on the fights will be not only allowed but encouraged for
+fundraising reasons).
+
+Javier also contemplated the use of misleading talk titles ("The use of
+cannabis in contemporary ages: a practical approach" and "Real Madrid vs
+Barcelona" are two examples from his platform) to lure new users and
+contributors to Debian events.
+
+Javier's platform was collaboratively written by a team of communication
+experts and high profile Debian contributors during the last DebConf. It has
+since evolved thanks to the help of many other contributors.
