Mehdi, there's a question stemming out of context below… also sprach Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org> [2017-03-17 18:33 +0100]: > yet the general perception IME is that it's "GNOME Outreachy", > showing how being the title/original sponsor is extremely powerful > and, perhaps, worth a slight overlap of efforts. The canonical website for mentors and students is also https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ … I am not writing this to back up Chris' point. I've only caught a glimpse of what outreach work entails, and I'd be really careful just forking that. Instead, I'd hope to see us (a) embracing outreach more throughout the project (not just making a sub-project for it), and (b) then working with Outreachy to ensure that our cooperation reaches the level of flexibility required for Debian. Relating to this, I have a few questions, and if Mehdi is reading along, I'd love to hear his thoughts too: - What does "outreach" mean to you? - Let's not ask "why is it important", but rather: what potentials are there for Debian in furthering outreach initiatives? - Can you identify areas in Debian where we're already doing a good job? - What are the obstacles that keep us in other areas? - What do you think are the low-hanging fruits regarding outreach? - What are some concrete steps you'd like to see happen ASAP? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "one should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner." -- oscar wilde
