Bits from the DPL -- June 2016

Hi,

 

Newmaint delegation revoked

===========================

 

The Newmaint team is responsible of checking new Debian Maintainers

applications, and ask addition of the applicants keys to the Debian

Maintainers keyring.

 

Nowadays, the process is administrative and doesn't require special

powers. That is, it consists of checking that some criteria are met

as described on [1] and submitting a ticket to the team responsible

of up[censored] the GPG keyring.

 

[1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer

 

Following the same reasoning applied for Frontdesk [2], delegation

for the Newmaint team is therefore revoked. This does not mean that

the team ceases to exist, but only that it doesn't need any special

powers to perform its assigned tasks. It is up to anyone to step up

and help current members of the Newmaint team.

Debian Sun Camp

===============

 

Tincho and Ana organized the Debian Sun Camp [10], May 26-29. The

main goal of the event was to socialize and hack with Debian folks

under the sun! I attended DSC16 and had the opportunity to:

- - Have lengthy (yet useful!) discussions about DebConf. Ideas on

what is important in order to make a DebConf happen and how to

make its organization more manageable. Discussions about this

topic will happen during DebConf and on mailing-lists.

- - Have an impromptu meeting with a Debian Auditor and agree on a

work plan. The minutes of the meeting can be found here:

master.d.o:/srv/leader/news/bits-from-the-DPL.txt.201605

- - Have fun!

Anti-Harassment

===============

 

I am pleased to announce that Laura Arjona Reina and Neil

McGovern accepted to join the Anti-Harassment team [1].

Regular pings of some teams

===========================

 

We have many teams in Debian who deal with different organizational

parts and whose work is not necessarily visible to everybody. Some

of them are part of some core processes within Debian, some are

contact points for people from outside the project. So it is quite

important to make sure those teams are functional and active.

 

In order to avoid surprises as much as we can, I decided to send

regular pings to have an accurate idea of their status. A short

reply is only what is needed. No long reports are required. If I

get no reply within a month, which I consider it to be a fair

delay, I may declare the team as MIA and start working on

alternative plans.

 

 

Reimbursement procedures

========================

 

Expenses made by project members for Debian are reimbursed by one

our Trusted Organizations [2], depending on the kind of the expense

and the enquerier's location. During the last couple of weeks,

together with Debian Auditors, we tried to get procedures

documented for all of our TOs [3]. More concretely, we have added

reimbursement procedures for Debian France and Debian.ch. Requests

made to the aforementioned TOs will be tracked in RT tickets to

make it easier to track.

[3] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Reimbursement

 

Next, we will work on getting these procedures simplified and

unified as much as possible.

 

 

Assets

======

- - Approved purchase of a Jetson TK1 Developer Kit. (Up to $250)

- - Approved payment of a care pack for fasolo.debian.org which will be the new

ftp-master machine, replacing franck.d.o ($1,573.38)

- - Approved purchase of PGP hardware tokens for DAMs. (Up to 200€)
