Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm sorry, I have a kind of technical\Nproblem.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't remember the shortcut to bring\Nfull screen in okular.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ctrl-Shift-P… ok, thank you.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is my first DebConf, so I would like\Nto take this opportunity to present myself
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Cédric Boutillier, I'm known as boutil\Non IRC and I'm a Debian member
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since 2012 and a couple of years before\Nthat, I started contributing to Debian
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a member of the ruby team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also joined the french localization team\Nand I started to translate
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some announcements and that's how I became\Npart of the publicity team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I will talk about today is\Nthe structure of the publicity team,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the various services we are handling in\Nthe team and how you can in fact
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get involved in the team and promote\NDebian through the publicity team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what is the structure of the team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a bit complicated because in fact the\Npublicity in Debian is for the moment
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two teams: the Press team and the\NPublicity team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The members of the Press team are\Ndelegated by the DPL and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they can speak in the name of the project\Nwhen it's needed
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to contact for example journalists.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have a private mail alias\Npress@debian.org and they serve as a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,contact point for journalists and the\Noutside world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there is the Debian Publicity team,\Nwhich is much larger, but…
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not much larger, larger but not as well\Nstructured as the Press team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have a public mailing list,\Ndebian-publicity@lists.debian.org
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and an IRC channel, #debian-publicity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we should also include in this team\Nall the people doing reviews,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,essentially translating our broken english\Ninto proper english − Hello Justin −
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all the translators doing the work to\Ntranslate
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,various announcements in various\Nlanguages.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have also in this Publicity team the\Nmaintainers of the Debian blog,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more on that later, that are also\Ndelegated by the DPL.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in fact, we should also include the\Nwhole project, because publicity is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the duty of the whole project and\Neveryone should be concerned by this.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I will now review the various tools we can\Nhave in the team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, there are the press announcements.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are published on the website in the\NNews/ subsection.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They inform journalists and users of\Nimportant changes and they are prepared
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the Press team and the Publicity team
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also with various involved teams when\Nthere are specific changes.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It includes the news for the new releases\Nand some times also
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,news that are published in coordination\Nwith other companies or
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,other projects.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These announcements are a very\Nofficial way to communicate
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the project
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and on the wiki, at the moment there is\Nsome information about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how you could approach the team to propose\Nsuch an announcement.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is another tool which is used\Nto publish communication about the project
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a less formal way.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the Debian blog, AKA bits.debian.org
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It first lived as an unofficial service\Nunder news.debian.net for two years
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it was reopened as an official\Nservice in 2013.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Blogposts that are published there are\Nless formal,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can have all kind of announcements\Nthere
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so every Debian member has a commit access\Nto the git repository
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to draft an article which is then reviewed\Nbefore the final publishing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some teams already have published informal\Nreports to this blog and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it would be nice if it became something\Nusual that teams having sprints
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,publish informal reports in this blog.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have also some Google Summer of Code\Nannouncements and things like that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Something I know quite well is the Debian\NProject News.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a newsletter that at its creation was\Nsupposed to be weekly released,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then after some break it was revived as a\Nbi-monthly newsletter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but at the moment we kind of lack manpower\Nso it's more or less released once a month.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what's the structure.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's available on the website under the\NNews/weekly/ section of the website.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's also released as an e-mail on\Ndebian-news and on localized versions
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of this newsletter for translations.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's also available as a RSS feed and\Nlinks to the newsletter are also
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sent to Identica.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's translated into various languages and\Nhow do we create this newsletter?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We gather various information from mailing\Nlists, blog posts and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,write some short paragraphs about this.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have also recurrent sections in this\Nmailing list about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,security announcements, interesting new\Npackages, during freeze time
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we publish a summary of the RC statistics\Nand recently we added some information
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the reproducible builds statistics\Ntoo.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A new section that appeared from time to\Ntime in the last issues is the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Team, what do you do?" section which was\Nintroduced by Donald Norwood.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The principle of this section is to\Ninterview teams.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's a nice way for users and\Npeople interested in Debian in general
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to discover the various teams,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not only teams doing packages but teams\Ndoing like cross archive work or
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work on other fields of the project.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If your team is invited to answer these\Nquestions, please find some time
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to answer to our e-mail and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if your team is interested in\Nparticipating in this initiative or
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you know a team that you would be\Ninterested in knowing more about,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,please tell us and we'll try to\Ncontact them.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can you help the Publicity team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You should consider publicity as a way\Nway to advertise your work
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can first join the publicity team\Nand work directly on
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we are producing: announcements\Nor this newsletter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by writing, reviewing or translating\Narticles like for the Debian Project News.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Debian is a very large project and it's\Nvery difficult for us to monitor
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the mailing lists and all the IRC\Nchannels and things like that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so if you can help and collect some\Ninformation about what happens
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the project, it's very good.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, if you are already a Debian\Ncontributor and you did or you saw
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something amazing in the Debian project
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could just send us an e-mail with just\Na few lines and a couple of links
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we could include this into the\Nnewsletter.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you have a package that you are very\Nhappy of,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of people use this package, you can\Nalso tell us about it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we will advertise it in the next\NDebian Project Newsletter issue.
