Hi, after DebConf12 I read the replies to Ian Campbells DM application, which ended with Bdales reply:

(read the whole thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/1342221322.8586.271.ca...@hastur.hellion.org.uk - it's heartwarming :-) This, improving the Debian community by creating excellent opportunities to work together, is one of my main motivations for doing DebConf work, and I really loved it to see it "summed up" this nicely in the whole thread. And similarily, I'm happy to learn that (appearantly) DebConf12 made Leandro apply for non-uploading DD now as well! And, (knowing DebConf a bit) I know there have been many more advancements I know nothing or little about! :-) thank you all for making Debian what it is, both technically & socially, cheers, Holger P.S.: this is also why I think we should keep the DebConf/Debian newbee initiative! _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
