Dear Debian Developers
I hereby appoint the following developers as members of the Debian
Publicity Team:
- Anupa Ann Joseph (anupa)
- Donald Norwood (donald)
- Jean-Pierre (jipege)
- Joost van Baal-Ilić (joostvb)
Welcome to Jean-Pierre and Joost joining this delegation, both of whom
have been active in the team for a while.
Any previous delegation to the same team, not explicitly listed above,
is revoked. The delegation is not time-limited; it will be effective
until further changes by present or future Project Leaders.
Task Description
-----------------
* The publicity team moderate news and announcements in all the Debian
official resources:
- mailing lists of general interest, such as debian-announce and
debian-news (but not the the localized -news-$lang mailing lists)
- the official blog of the Debian project, "Bits from Debian"
- any official social media of the project
- and any other channels where Debian gets an official online
presence.
* The team is also responsible for the maintenance of the News
part of the English version of the Debian website (i.e. the content
currently located under webwml/english/News/).
* The team is in charge of deciding the most suitable publication
venue or venues for announcements and when they are published.
* Team members must word articles in a way that reflects the Debian
project's stance on issues rather than their own personal opinion.
* Finally, the Publicity Team is the official Debian contact point
for press inquiries and media people outside Debian. When acting in
such capacity, members of the team act as a spokesperson of the
Debian Project.
