Hi all, I'm looking for collaborators on the Debian derivatives census. The census involves a mixture of social and technical work as well as following different information feeds to find new Debian derivatives and passing information to other Debian teams and folks. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census I believe the census is valuable to Debian and to derivatives and that it helps build mutually beneficial connections between us and the wider community of Free Software distributions. Derivatives bring new people, perspectives and projects to Debian, conference sponsorship and more. Derivatives benefit from collaboration with Debian through learning from our community, increased exposure to the Debian audience and of course our software distribution and services. I'm looking for folks who are not very involved in Debian and would like to increase their involvement. The current codebase involves Make, Python, SQL, Shell and small amounts of Perl but if you don't know these yet I'll be happy to help you learn enough that you can contribute. In addition to the census codebase itself, work on the census can involve working on the codebases of other Debian services, such as the Debian Package Tracker. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Integration https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives https://tracker.debian.org/ The census service is currently disabled until the patch part of the service is refactored to use a database instead of YAML so that loading metadata about the patches doesn't use all the RAM on the machine. I haven't had the spoons to tackle this issue just yet. https://wiki.debian.org/Glossary#spoons -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
