I will be at DebConf but not at DebCamp (just can't take the two weeks away from work without cutting into other vacation that I want to take this year). I think I'm currently the only active Policy editor. Not sure if the other current editors have plans or hopes to become active again. If I were going to prioritize the sort of work that could be done in sprints (a lot of Policy work requires getting project consensus, which isn't well-suited to sprints because it's hard to determine the absence of well-founded objections in the context of a sprint), it would be documenting the major changes in the project that Policy is entirely silent about. Off the top of my head, the most pressing: - Triggers - Multiarch - systemd integration (there's a draft in an external repo) - FHS 3.0 For the first two, having Guillem or someone else deeply involved in dpkg development on-hand would be hugely helpful since they'll have to review the resulting document anyway. I think there may be some drafts buried in bugs? -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
