Package: lists.debian.org Severity: wishlist Usertags: debian-events Hi there!
As discussed during the DebConf11 Events BoF [1], here is the request
for a new debian-events-announce@ mailing list. Cc:ing the
debian-publicity@ and debian-www@ lists, as well as the events@d.o team
to look for second, please keep (at least) the events@d.o team in the
loop.
Here is the requested information as per [2].
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Name:
debian-events-announce
Rationale:
We already have well-established regional debian-events-*@ mailing
lists (-eu, -ha, -na and -nl), but this are mostly used for
coordination. The new list, on the contrary, should get email
notifications whenever a new event is added to the website.
Please note that while the long description for the debian-news@
mailing list reads "the current *events* and news about Debian are
summarized in the Debian Weekly News, a newsletter regularly posted
on this list" (emphasis is mine), the fact that the Debian Weekly
News does not exist anymore and that the frequency of its
replacement (the Debian Project News) is not (yet) defined means
that the debian-news@ list is IMHO not suitable for such task.
Short description:
Announcements of Debian-related events
Category:
Users
Subscription Policy:
Open
Post Policy:
Restricted to some teams: Events (all of the members), Publicity
(basically, the Press team) and WWW (if someone wants to).
In principle, those who can commit to www.d.o/events/ should be able
to send a post as soon as they add a new event.
Alternatively, posting can be restricted to the Events and Press
team only, using the following workflow: whoever adds a new event
also sends the announcement to the debian-publicity@ list for
reviews, then a member of the Events and Press team posts that to
this new list.

On behalf of the Events team.
