Essential guide: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct The page of that guide is referenced at top of http://lists.debian.org/ - in case you are bad at memorizing stuff like I am :-) >>> Second, is anyone keeping a list of Indian Debian developers along >>> with contact information, and if so, could you share it?
