Hi! We're looking for some more volunteers to join the team. You don't have to spend all day and all of the night working with us - a couple of hours a week may do. Debian is mostly English speaking - so a good understanding of English is essential - but we're very conscious that other languages exist so someone with a good command of French/German/Spanish or any East Asian languages would be very helpful indeed. The more the merrier in terms of languages and cultures. And timezones! :-) Community Team members can listen / mediate / persuade and understand Debian folk as needed, but should also be mindful of how to make even casual questioners see Debian as a welcoming environment in passing. Dealing with people can be difficult: a willingness to try and see both sides of a disagreement dispassionately and in the best interests of the wider Project is essential, as is the patience needed to tease out facts from anger and hurt feelings. Because of the need to be well aware of Debian culture and possible privacy issues involved in discussions, membership of this team is limited to Debian developers at this time. We'd love to find people with experience in this kind of role, but we're also ready and willing to help people learn how to work in the team. It's very rewarding to help people and make the project a better place. Would you like to help? If so, please contact us! Cheers, Steve, for the Community Team -- Steve McIntyre 93sam@debian.org Debian Community Team community@debian.org
