[Debconf-discuss] one of the many reasons DebConfs are great (Re: DM application of Ian Campbell)
Hi,
after DebConf12 I read the replies to Ian Campbells DM application, which
ended with Bdales reply:

(read the whole thread starting at
http://lists.debian.org/1342221322.8586.271.camel@hastur.hellion.org.uk - it's
heartwarming :-)
This, improving the Debian community by creating excellent opportunities to
work together, is one of my main motivations for doing DebConf work, and I
really loved it to see it "summed up" this nicely in the whole thread.
And similarily, I'm happy to learn that (appearantly) DebConf12 made Leandro
apply for non-uploading DD now as well!
And, (knowing DebConf a bit) I know there have been many more advancements I
know nothing or little about! :-)
thank you all for making Debian what it is,
both technically & socially,
cheers,
Holger
P.S.: this is also why I think we should keep the DebConf/Debian newbee
initiative!
