[D-community-discuss] Update on debian-community.org

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

from my blog:

blogging (1-178) life; title=Update on debian-community.org

  * Since at least two months I wanted to write this blog post, as I have
    realised that I can't give [1 debian-community.org] the love it needs. But 
I
    have even been to busy to write this Request For Help... :-(

  * Since September 2007 three community planets ([2 english], [3 italian] and 
[4 german])
    exists and are used and (since a bit longer) there is a wiki, a [5 
mailinglist]
    and an IRC channel (#debian-community on OFTC) and a server running this.

  * And then it got stalled, yet two out of three DPL candidates mentioned
    debian-community.org during the DPL IRC debate, believing it was alive 
    and kicking. (Or at least not stalled as it was at that time.) The planets
    are alive, but that's it. Or rather that was it, there has been some
    activity recently! :-)

  * Last week, [6 Andreas Putzo] approached me and told me he wanted to spend
    some of his holidays to work on the long proposed email and jabber
    services. And by now he already did so! Yay.

  * Still, please consider this request for help (or invitation ;) still to be
    valid. For example, mail+jabber work now, but there is no documentation on
    our wiki... 

  * There are many ways you can help, the best is to take initiative. If you
    want to, please join the IRC channel or send a mail to the list. I'll
    still hang around, but probably not much more. I certainly don't plan to
    stand in the way, rather the opposite. And of course, should you attend 
    DebConf8, I'd also love to talk to you :-)

  * So much for now, now I'll continue with other pre-Argentina todo entries
    :-)

  * Hah. Forgot one link: if you haven't seen it yet, please take a 30 sec. 
    look at [7 http://join.fedoraproject.org]. Very well done. I'd like to see
    debian-community.org to become a bit like that :-)
