Subject: Contacting i18n/l10n team


Hi,


I'd like to officially contact all our teams to learn about potential

issues that might affect your work. I would love to learn how you

organise / share your workload. If you do some regular meetings - be it

on IRC, video conference or whatever I'm interested in joining one of

your next meetings.


Like previous DPLs, I'm open to any inquiries or requests for

assistance. I personally prefer public discussion whenever possible, as

they can benefit a wider audience. You can find a list of contact

options at the bottom of my page on people.d.o[1].


I prefer being offline when I'm away from my keyboard, so I don't carry

a phone. In urgent situations, I can provide the number of my dumb

phone, though it may not always be within reach. Feel free to ping me

via email if I don't respond promptly to ensure I address your concerns.


Please let me know whether I can do something for you. I'm fine joining

your IRC channel if needed but please invite me in case I should be

informed about some urgent discussion there since I normally do not lurk

on this channel.


I'd also like to inform you that I've registered a BoF for DebConf24 in

Busan with the following description:


 This BoF is an attempt to gather as much as possible teams inside

 Debian to exchange experiences, discuss workflows inside teams, share

 their ways to attract newcomers etc.


 Each participant team should prepare a short description of their work

 and what team roles (“openings”) they have for new contributors. Even

 for delegated teams (membership is less fluid), it would be good to

 present the team, explain what it takes to be a team member, and what

 steps people usually go to end up being invited to participate. Some

 other teams can easily absorb contributions from salsa MRs, and at some

 point people get commit access. Anyway, the point is that we work on the

 idea that the pathway to become a team member becomes more clear from an

 outsider point-of-view.


I'm sure not everybody will be able to travel this distance but it would

be great if you would at least consider joining that BoF remotely. I'll

care for a somehow TimeZone aware scheduling - if needed we'll organise

two BoFs to match all time zones. I'm also aware that we have pretty

different teams and it might make sense to do some infrastructure

related BoF with your team and other teams that are caring for Debian

infrastructure.


I have some specific questions to the i18n/l10n team.


 - Do you feel good when doing your work in i18n/l10n team?

 - Do you consider the workload of your team equally shared amongst its

 members?

 - I consider i18n / l10n an extremely important entry point to attract

 newcomers. Could you confirm this assumption of mine or do you

 think I'm over-optimistic here?

 - Do you have some strategy to gather new contributors for your team?

 - Can you give some individual estimation how many hours per week you

 are working on your tasks in youre team? Does this fit the amount of

 time you can really afford for this task?

 - I personally consider your team important enough to be mentioned

 on our Organizational Structure page[2]? Did you thought about this?

 I think it is good to have an entry in Debian Wiki[3](that page is

 als a bit aging - nearly 3 years no edits) but possibly the official

 web page might be more visible to newcomers. You have also a Wiki

 page for L10n[4] which I do not see linked from some global index page.

 - I'm a bit concerned about the people listed on your Wiki page[3]

 under "Usual roles" since I know most people and think they could be

 considered MIA. My team metrics initiative is somehow backing up my

 assumption from mailing list activities[5]. Teammetrics of Git commits

 are showing[6] that other people remain more active here (thanks to

 those; current most active commiters in CC)

 - I was once contributing to DDTP (in its very early days). Could you

 please give me some update about this project?

 - What other tools are you using? Can you please describe some of your

 main workflows (or provide deep links to such a descriptions)?

 - Can I do anything for you?


Kind regards and thanks a lot for your work

 Andreas.
