Please give a warm round of applause to

"Debian, a giant with a tiny voice"

[Applause]
-
Not Synced
I'm sorry, I have a kind of technical
problem.
-
Not Synced
I don't remember the shortcut to bring
full screen in okular.
-
Not Synced
Ctrl-Shift-P… ok, thank you.
-
Not Synced
This is my first DebConf, so I would like
to take this opportunity to present myself
-
Not Synced
I'm Cédric Boutillier, I'm known as boutil
on IRC and I'm a Debian member
-
Not Synced
since 2012 and a couple of years before
that, I started contributing to Debian
-
Not Synced
as a member of the ruby team.
-
Not Synced
I also joined the french localization team
and I started to translate
-
Not Synced
some announcements and that's how I became
part of the publicity team.
-
Not Synced
What I will talk about today is
the structure of the publicity team,
-
Not Synced
the various services we are handling in
the team and how you can in fact
-
Not Synced
get involved in the team and promote
Debian through the publicity team.
-
Not Synced
So, what is the structure of the team.
-
Not Synced
It's a bit complicated because in fact the
publicity in Debian is for the moment
-
Not Synced
two teams: the Press team and the
Publicity team.
-
Not Synced
The members of the Press team are
delegated by the DPL and
-
Not Synced
they can speak in the name of the project
when it's needed
-
Not Synced
to contact for example journalists.
-
Not Synced
They have a private mail alias
press@debian.org and they serve as a
-
Not Synced
contact point for journalists and the
outside world.
-
Not Synced
And there is the Debian Publicity team,
which is much larger, but…
-
Not Synced
not much larger, larger but not as well
structured as the Press team.
-
Not Synced
We have a public mailing list,
debian-publicity@lists.debian.org
-
Not Synced
and an IRC channel, #debian-publicity.
-
Not Synced
And we should also include in this team
all the people doing reviews,
-
Not Synced
essentially translating our broken english
into proper english − Hello Justin −
-
Not Synced
and all the translators doing the work to
translate
-
Not Synced
various announcements in various
languages.
-
Not Synced
We have also in this Publicity team the
maintainers of the Debian blog,
-
Not Synced
more on that later, that are also
delegated by the DPL.
-
Not Synced
And in fact, we should also include the
whole project, because publicity is
-
Not Synced
the duty of the whole project and
everyone should be concerned by this.
-
Not Synced
I will now review the various tools we can
have in the team.
-
Not Synced
First, there are the press announcements.
-
Not Synced
They are published on the website in the
News/ subsection.
-
Not Synced
They inform journalists and users of
important changes and they are prepared
-
Not Synced
by the Press team and the Publicity team
-
Not Synced
and also with various involved teams when
there are specific changes.
-
Not Synced
It includes the news for the new releases
and some times also
-
Not Synced
news that are published in coordination
with other companies or
-
Not Synced
other projects.
-
Not Synced
These announcements are very a very
official way to communicate
-
Not Synced
about the project
-
Not Synced
and on the wiki, at the moment there is
some information about
-
Not Synced
how you could approach the team to propose
such an announcement.
-
Not Synced
There is another tool which is used
to publish communication about the project
-
Not Synced
in a less formal way.
-
Not Synced
It's the Debian blog, AKA bits.debian.org
Debconf
