<font face="Century Schoolbook L">Hi all, <br>
What do people think about having mails from <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org">debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org</a>
. As can be seen on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/">https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/</a>
it says :-<br>
<br>
"Announcements for developers<br>
Announcements of development issues like policy changes,
important release issues &c."<br>
<br>
It's a light-traffic list with having 10 or so mails in a month.
Now we could do either by having all the mails dumped from the
announce list or forward a few of the more interesting ones to
the mailing list. <br>
<br>
Looking forward to know what the list thinks of the same. <br>

<font face="Century Schoolbook L">I think its good idea to keep an
eye on announcements from debian, specially when we are going to
use it as base. This will help in various way and keep us upto
date.</font><br>
<br>
How are you planning to do this? RSS feed? or forward emails to
hamara-devel or hamara-announce?<br>

Why is it important ? Because any changes happening in Debian
for better or worse is going to affect us. There is also a <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:debian-devel@lists.debian.org">debian-devel@lists.debian.org</a>
but that is a pretty high traffic list which I wouldn't
recommend unless we know how debian works intimately. <br>
<br>
Another thing, are there any of us who want to become Debian
Maintainers or Debian Developers ? While I'm not myself a DD
because it needs more dedication than I have or want to spend
atm, do know how the process works and am and willing to guide
people who want to go through the process. <br>
<br>
How this helps us ?<br>
<br>
It helps in various ways. It helps in getting our understanding
and making better our technical skills on packaging a long way.
Debian has lots of tools and processes in place for making a
distribution release seamless while at the same time being
thorough about it. There is of course, lots more it can do but
as it's a volunteer-driven organization whatever they are doing
has to be good enough for us for now. We could look at the
processes, use and re-use tools, processes whatever is good
from them to us and leave the ones which we either do not need
or are unable to do atm. Apart from that, there are of course
bragging rights that go with becoming a DD as well as having
more hacking/employment opportunities (especially in the
European Union, Latin American Countries and increasingly so in
the United States as well.) as well. <br>
<br>
Look forward to know what people think about the same. As
shared, I am open to sharing all and any understanding I have
both about becoming a DM, DD as well as sharing about
debian-project as well. <br>
<br>
Look forward to what people think of the same. <br>

<font face="Century Schoolbook L">I really want to be part of it.
But currently have got enough on plate. As soon as things settle
down, will definitely give it a go</font>.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
