Hi all current subscribers (I hope we are some),
since the creation of the debian-mobile mailing list, one of the mailing lists
early subscribers' first task is to properly announce its creation.
So far, coordination has been done over #debian-mobile IRC and using the
following titanpad instance:
http://titanpad.com/sb9lb55FFi
(The content of this draft is pasted at the end of the current email).
Please comment either by amending the Titanpad instance and/or by answering to
this mail. I propose to get the mail sent out on Monday.
Thanks in advance for any further comments,
Cheers,
OdyX

Subject: Announcing debian-mobile@lists.debian.org !
Hi all,
Thanks to our benevolent listmasters[0], everyone interested in discussing
mobile interfaces in Debian, Debian on mobile devices, etc, now has a new
mailing-list:
debian-mobile@lists.debian.org
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mobile
As its description says, this new mailing list is meant to be the place for
"discussions around packaging suitable mobile interfaces for Debian." When
discussing the creation of the mailing-list [0], we tried to define what was
meant by "mobile":
"Mobile systems have a user-interface different than the traditional
'keyboard+mouse' pair, can be battery-powered, have a generally small form
factor and/or only allow few elements on a given screen."
Information about running Debian, Linux and other Free Software on mobile
devices has been gathered on the Mobile[1] and Smartphone[2] wiki pages.
We would like to invite all participants scattered around in the multiple
mailing lists to join debian-mobile@lists.debian.org to discuss and work on
bringing Debian to mobile devices.
In order to organize and coordinate the team work, we would like to hold an
IRC meeting soon, so please add your preferences to the poll[3].
Cheers,
