Excerpts from gregor herrmann's message of Thu Aug 20 02:25:09 -0700 2009: > There's a central place for teams in Debian: > http://wiki.debian.org/Teams
That's an excellent resource, yes. > The interesting question is how to encourage people to join teams; > some thoughts from DebConf can be found here: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2009/07/msg00083.html > (especially point 3) One thought captured in those notes is to mention things on debian.org/devel/join. I was surprised to find no mention of teams at all there, so I just submitted a patch to add the following paragraph (the HTML equivalent rather): Finally, Debian provides many teams[1] of developers working together on common tasks. Anybody can participate on a team, whether an official Debian Developer or not. Working together with a team is an excellent way to gain experience before starting the New Maintainer Process[2] and is one of the best places to find package sponsors. So find a team that suits your interests and jump right in. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/Teams [2] http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint -Carl
