Thank you very much!
This is great news and I think we can (should!) publish a blog post in
bits.debian.org with the info you sent. We would link to it in the
next DPN, too.
I've committed a draft adding some links to your text:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/publicity/bits.git/tree/content/2016/fpga-debian.md
Would you like to have a look at it?
I've added a line crediting the maintainer (but I don't know who is
(s)he!) and you for the packaging/sponsoring work, and the Debian
Science team (not sure about this point, in the packages it says
Debian Science Maintainers).
OTOH, if you can add a photo of a board or any image you find
interesting, that can be published with the MIT or GPL license, that
would be awesome.
All Debian Developers can commit directly to the bits repo in git:
ssh://git.debian.org/git/publicity/bits.git
Or you can send patches or comments to the -publicity
mailing list and I'll commit them.
Thank you again for your work in FPGA and for taking the time to write
about it!
Best regards
