== History ==

Valéssio and Holger proposed a [[http://layer-acht.org/slides/20070601-debian-community.org.pdf|relationship environment to Debian community]] in 2007. 
Many other proposals are made to approximate Debian project non-developers. [[DebianArt|Be artists]], [[https://raphaelhertzog.com/2012/01/31/contributing-to-the-translation-of-debian/|translators]], [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents|event organization]] or individual who would like to [[FriendsOfDebian|support the project in any other way than with code]].

With the new free technologies to create "Social Networks", the idea of uniting the Debian collaboration channels in a dynamic and flexible tool. Which users can put together in collaboration channels and existing discussion groups. The proposal does not change what already exists, but rather, integrate systems with a more cool and modern concept.

   * The social must accept external users? '''Yes.'''

   * The DD profile should be differentiated? Yes, free and permissions in the environment theme, creating comunidades.

   * What other services could / should be added to the social?
      * Git, even if not all DD/packets use git?
      * The new tracker https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/meta-gnome3
      * Mailling Lists
      * IRC Channels
      * Etc.

   * We should gameficar the environment? Type computing based on karma held packages, reported bugs and etc? '''Yes.'''

== How would the Roadmap? ==
   * Technology: [[http://noosfero.org/|Noosfero]]. Because already packaged for Debian Stable. It is made and maintained by Debian developers and contributors.
   * Define concepts and proposed configuration, basic layout (can be standard Noosfero in red tone);
   * Migrate Users and images (files) DebianArt.org to Noosfero;
   * Launch an Alpha version in August 2015, Debian's birthday;
   * Establish partnership for sustainable technology and environmental development;
   * After turning a "beta" version with integrated tools for collaborative code and packaging; With support for lists; We can propose upgrade / integration Alioth in a "manual" or gradually between projects. For example, a button in the "Alioth" integration project to "Collab Debian", this button adds the project in a row the "Cron" to process the migration/sync. This will eliminate that is migrated disabled or abandoned projects.
