This talk will give an overview of
what the Debian publicity team does
and how they work and how you can
support them.
Please give a warm round of applause to
Cédric Boutillier and his talk
"Debian, a giant with a tiny voice"
[Applause]
I'm sorry, I have a kind of technical
problem.
I don't remember the shortcut to bring
full screen in okular.
Ctrl-Shift-P… ok, thank you.
This is my first DebConf, so I would like
to take this opportunity to present myself
I'm Cédric Boutillier, I'm known as boutil
on IRC and I'm a Debian member
since 2012 and a couple of years before
that, I started contributing to Debian
as a member of the ruby team.
I also joined the french localization team
and I started to translate
some announcements and that's how I became
part of the publicity team.
What I will talk about today is
the structure of the publicity team,
the various services we are handling in
the team and how you can in fact
get involved in the team and promote
Debian through the publicity team.
So, what is the structure of the team.
It's a bit complicated because in fact the
publicity in Debian is for the moment
two teams: the Press team and the
Publicity team.
The members of the Press team are
delegated by the DPL and
they can speak in the name of the project
when it's needed
to contact for example journalists.
They have a private mail alias
press@debian.org and they serve as a
contact point for journalists and the
outside world.
