Hi Andreas,
Sorry for not replying before, I wanted to take some time to elaborate
the reply so it is useful for similar situations in the future.
First of all, your post was perfectly formatted :) I won't publish it
because as you mentioned, it has been already published in plenty of
other places (d-d-a, blogpost in planet) and it has probably already
arrived to the intended audience. The text is a report and it doesn't
fit the bits.d.o style that's usually less information, highlighting
a few things and giving hints to where find more.
What I would love publishing is a more general blog post about what
is Debian Med, what you have done so far, what are your plans for Jessie
and in the near future and how to join you. You could see it as a recruiting
post for both users and developers. What do you think?
Ana
