We've had bits from the DPL[1][2], bits from the release team[3], bits from the listmasters[4] and bits from other people and groups within Debian[5][6][7][8][9].

Since new contributors are important for Debian (or any free software project), I'd like to see a "Bits from the DMs/NMs/AMs" on d-d-a. I also had the thought of separate emails for debian-private and DAM/FD/AMs. So, I'm gathering your thoughts for these mails.

If you are in NM, a DM, an AM, just having packages sponsored by DDs or maybe recently became a DD, I'd love to hear from you.

When replying, tell me anything you want to, but if you can't think of anything, here are some ideas to get you started:

What cool packages are you working on or sponsoring? Did you buy your AM a beer at DebConf, or have one bought for you? Are you working on improving a general area of Debian (games, science, servers, hardware)? Are you helping interesting people to get through the NM process? Are you excited about finishing NM? How has the process been so far? What made you commit to becoming a member of the Debian community or helping others do so? What do you think about DM, what does the DM change indicate about Debian to you? What are your plans for Debian stuff in the future? Do you feel you've learnt from the NM process? What is your assessment of DM so far, what cool stuff have you done with it? Did your Debian wishlist for 2007 come true? What is your Debian wishlist for 2008? What does Debian mean to you? In what ways do you or do you intend to contribute to Debian and free software in general? How can we help you to contribute to Debian or free software in general?

In your replies, please indicate which parts are for d-d-a, d-p, just for DAM/FD/AMs. Please also indicate if you would like to remain anonymous, want your comments attributed to you or don't care either way. I'll read all public and private replies and make summaries for d-d-a, d-p and DAM/FD/AMs. Depending on the number of replies and my RL situation, it might take a while to write up, so please be patient.

I'm unfortunately monolingual, so if you would like to translate this post and translate replies from NMs/etc to English and send them to me, please feel free to post it to the non-English mentors/devel lists/forums.
