I've also looked at the DebianEventsBox wiki page, the announcement linked to from there by Luca Capello, and the last several months of debian-publicity mail archives. I fully agree that this would be a Good Thing to have for Debian. I currently work at a hardware store (located in Florida, USA) where I can get things like power strips (actually, surge suppressors would be better), at least some types of cabling, padlocks, and other assorted things at a significant discount from normal retail price (my price would be the wholesale price the store pays plus 10% markup, plus local sales tax). As a token of my esteem for Debian (and, honestly, because I don't think it is going to cost too much), I am proposing and willing to purchase at my own expense, and ship at my own expense at least within the USA (possibly within North America, e.g. Canada / Mexico, and(Continue reading)
Hello publicity team, while reading zack's DPL bits, I came across the [1]Debian Events Box wiki page. 1: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Events/DebianEventsBox It is mentioning "Provide a small GUI to burn CD/DVD/BluRay images and/or make a bootable USB-stick, yet to be coded". The Berlin Linux user group BeLUG has a project called [2]"BeLDi, the Belug (Linux) Distribution Burner". Maybe this is already something you could use or at least it could act as a starting point? 2: https://belug.de/~beldi/?lang=en Some [3]background of the project (in German) tells you a bit about it's strength (e.g. automatic updates of the ISO files). 3: http://belug.de/beldi.html Greetings, Mike Dornberger

I've been wondering about this myself and have refrained from committing directly. Would it make sense to commit, but still post the patch for heads-up+review? I also thought about creating two patches: one already applied (typos and stuff) and one for peer review, but this means more than double the work.

IMHO a direct commit by people who have write access is the best solution. People who already have write permission on -publicity are supposed to be regular contributor who are aware of DPN guidelines and best practices. So, there's no point in not let them commit directly their patch. I'd prefer a decentralized workflow with people who know what they are doing: i.e. l10n-english reviewers, regular contributors of -publicity(Continue reading)
[cc-ed: Debian publicity mailing list] Hi, I'm Francesca, member of the Debian Publicity team. I just tried your Debian-related news feed reader for Android [1] and it seems really useful, thanks for creating it! (Even if I don't understand why it asks permissions to read the state of the phone, but I'm too lazy to dig into the code to figure it out ;) ) I'd just like to ask you to add to the feeds one for the #Debian Identi.ca hashtag: you already have one for the Twitter one, but as Debian official account is on Identi.ca (the one on twitter just repeat messages from the identi.ca one) it seems appropriate to show also updates from the identi.ca Debian community. There's also a separate DPN (Debian Project News, our newsletter) feed: you can find it here [2].

Thanks for your time. I look > forward to your response. Be well. Hi Joseph, thanks for your offer. At the moment we're assemblying the event box "instance" for Europe, but we'll soon do the same for the US version. We will keep an eye on the material you suggested and let you know. But we've to point out that, given the relative low cost of those material (at least when compared to more expensive items contained in the event box such as the desktop computer) the overhead of organization might be significant when compared to the discount advantages. These amounts of donations are *very* important for Debian and constitute an important slice of our finances. But it might be better for us to receive those kinds of donations as cash [1], as it is easier for us to use them that way. Thanks again for your interest in helping Debian, Cheers.

FWIW, I've met the journalist at FOSDEM and he has told me that the source of the information is in fact Extremadura CIO, to whom he has spoken directly. So, while the first two sentences of the h-online article led me believe that the only source was old news, the contrary is in fact true: according to the journalist, Mr López has confirmed the move of the remaining 40,000 desktops to Debian.
