Hi Thomas,

you.]

OK, here's my current draft:

 Thanks to Thomas Lange, our map of Developer Locations now links to a nice
 interactive world map where Debian Developers offer PGP keysigning.  We use
 such keysinging to prove identities of people who wish to get involved in the
 Debian project.  If you're interested, check the New Maintainers process, add
 yourself to the PGP signing offers wiki page and soon you will be listed at
 https://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc

( Created as content/2025/01/1736406080.md with
salsa.debian.org:publicity-team/micronews.git 4874edb..9ef99ac . )

(Not everybody reading it would know what PGP keysigning is or what it's used
for.)

I am not 100% happy with it yet; it might be too long for some of our social
media outlets.

Feedback and commits and git pushes welcome, Thanks, Bye,

Joost
