Being a media partner would be a prestige for itsfoss team and would allow me/us to cover and share in far more detail how companies benefit from foss technologies and vice-versa thus enabling the general public, potential budding developers from understanding the various opportunities in free software world. I believe that to be a win-win situation for all parties involved. This was a persistent question which was also raised during a recent foss event which I attended and was part of https://foss.coep.org.in/drupal7/index.php In fact itsfoss.com was perhaps one of the first media outlets in sharing Google's move to Debian from Ubuntu https://itsfoss.com/goobuntu-glinux-google/ where I have just surmised some of the reasons for the change, all educated guesses of course. Looking forward to know more. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8

http://scahss.sa.nctu.edu.tw/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/0001-horz.jpg The campus our venue is in is the left one. In the campus diagram, there are 3 spots shown in red, which are smoking areas. The rightmost one is the parking lot of our venue (MIRC building), and the leftmost one is closer to the dormitory building where we have our on-site accommodation (Student Dorm 12). The middle one is closer to the library building. Holger Levsen 於 2018年4月11日 週三，22:08寫道： > On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 06:13:10AM +, Yao Wei wrote: > > 1.

I guess I will bring nicotin blisters and/or ecigarettes or spent some nice times on a beach somewhere else and save a thousand euros.

Ok, having been explicitly pointed to, I guess I must answer ;-) I don't have much of a clue of what being a "media partner" really entails. I guess it depends on the type of coverage itsfoss.com wants. I guess a good way to find out what would this mean for you is to talk with other people who have been -officially or not, both from the media outlet in question and from Debian- in a similar position; Antoine Beaupré is one of them, as he covered DC17 for LWN. I believe we will all be happy if DebConf is covered in more media. What does itsfoss want from you besides a couple of articles? What are they giving you or Debian? What are they expecting to get back? Do they need to be advertised in any way in connection to us?
