Hi Stefan,
On IRC, there's #debian-arm on OFTC
There's the debian-arm mailing list
Probably some of the regular "State of the ARM" videos at pretty much
every Debconf (now also available on Peertube and YouTube).
It probably doesn't help that the community is small - a chat around
Steve's BBQ in Cambridge every year probably yields world expertise :(
(Sledge, unixsmurf on IRC both worked for ARM for many years, Wookey
still does).
I don't know who vagrantc (Vagrant Cascadian) works/worked for but always
a useful person.
Asking on the Debian resources above is probably as good as any.
All the very best,
Andy
