and how they work and how you can support them.
Please give a warm round of applause to Cédric Boutillier and his talk

[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.
