Hi, Two unrelated questions. Feel free to reply in separate emails.
* Fundraising DebConf is one of the biggest expenses of Debian, every year we look for sponsorship and we had (and have) sponsors who were sponsoring DebConf as a way of giving their "annual donation" to Debian and not necessarily funding DebConf itself. (Do you agree with this part, BTW?) In recent years, we have started to invest more Debian money in stuaff such like sprints and minidebconfs¹ that sometimes look for external founding. This has lead to some cases where sponsors have been contacted for separate teams in Debian which can be confusing. If you think this is a problem. How do you think we can improve this? ¹ Both investments are a great idea BTW * Publicizing Debian We have several officials ways of publicizing stuff in Debian: press releases, identi.ca, bits.d.o and the DPN. We also have the bits from the DPL that sometimes overlap with the above sources and announce stuff that should be announce somewhere else instead of mixed with the DPL activity. That said, the coordination between the above sources doesn't work very well, all of them have a lot of room for improvement (and I say that being closely involved in one of them) and I have seen Debian contributors lost about what to do when they want to announce something, sometimes being played as a ping pong ball between teams. I would love to know your vision about how publicizing Debian should work and if you think you can do something as DPL to improve the current situation.
