Hello, this is an announcement of news from the Debian New Member Front Desk. * nm.debian.org has a new theme Taking advantage of SnowCamp[1], Enrico worked at a new base template for nm.debian.org. The site should look better, adapt better to a wider varieties of devices, and being based on well-known frameworks like Bootstrap[2], be easier to expand and improve. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/it/2020/SnowCamp [2] https://packages.debian.org/buster/libjs-bootstrap4 * Official list of Debian Members We now have an authoritative list of all official Debian Members at https://nm.debian.org/members/ which is linked from the official website at [1] and at the bottom of [2]. [1] https://www.debian.org/intro/about#who [2] https://www.debian.org/intro/organization * Improved person search https://nm.debian.org/public/findperson is now much more stable, easier to use, and usable from mobile. * Full name vs LDAP information The site has historically used the LDAP structure for storing personal information, including the first/middle/last name distinction. This has been a long-standing issue, as that distinction is incorrect in a way or another for several Debian members and contributors[1]. The site now allows a person to provide their full name as they deem appropriate, and has a separate section for filling in broken-down LDAP fields for legacy compatibility with the current Debian infrastructure. [1] For example: https://bugs.debian.org/691628 * Tracking MIA Application Managers and Front Desk members A new page[1] tracks the last known activity of Application Managers and Front Desk members, to help keeping the staff status up to date. [1] https://nm.debian.org/mia/fd * New mailbox viewer Visible only to applicants and application managers, the viewer for the mailbox archives in the site is now significantly refactored, and should look and feel a bit more like a standard mail reader, making it faster and smoother to use.
