Hi folks, Göran Weinholt, Debian's current representative to Peer-Directed Projects Center[1], the not-for-profit organization that administrates the Freenode IRC network[2], has expressed an interest in stepping down, and has located a person willing to take on this responsibility. I am pleased to hereby delegate Jörg Jaspert to serve as Debian's representative to PDPC. Apart from serving as Debian's liaison between the two organizations, this role has responsibility for managing several technical and administrative aspects of Debian's presence on the Freenode IRC network. These include: * management of "user cloaks" that assign a developer identity[3] * editing the list of channel contacts for channels that Freenode regards as being the Debian Project's province (#debian and all channels matching #debian*) [4] I thank Göran Weinholt for his service in this role, and Jörg Jaspert for being willing to undertake it. [1] http://freenode.net/pdpc.shtml [2] http://freenode.net/ [3] These are what make the hostname or IP address field of an IRC user look like, for example, "user@debian/developer/user" as opposed to "user@192.168.0.1" or "user@nonsense-192-168-0-1.isp.example.com". [4] including but not limited to #debian, #debian-devel, #debian.se, #debian.hu, and so forth -- G. Branden Robinson Debian Project Leader leader@debian.org http://people.debian.org/~branden/
