Introduction
Welcome to the wiki home of the Debian Academy team. Join to the team, participate and get ready to work on some tasks!
The Debian Academy team aims to define and run an official Debian E-Learning platform to create courses about Debian Development topics to learn how to help as contributor, maintainer or developer in a social or in a technical way directly to the Debian Project.
Goals
To have a full own and official Debian E-Learning platform for the Debian Project to create courses about getting involved directly in the Debian Community, to teach about how to help in the development of Debian in different teams and activities like Debian Packaging, Debian tools used for communication in the community (IRC, Mailing Lists), Reproducible Builds, Translations, Video Team, Salsa GitLab, Web, Publicity, Debian Live, Infrastructure and any Debian Development topic related, taking advantage of some existent E-Learning Free Software projects to attract and facilitate to current Debian users interested about to be Debian collaborators and developers with something more than written documentation, using video explanations, creating structured and updated courses about some specific topic, having an index by field, virtual environments to work, examples, exercises and interaction with the instructors, who could be Debian users, collaborators, maintainers or developers who enjoy to teach to others.
- To transform or to create some Debian documentation into a Moodle or an edX course format.
What is not Debian Academy?
An ambiguous E-Learning project to teach general topics about Free Software and GNU/Linux. Debian Academy will be focused only on Debian Development topics to learn how to help as contributor, maintainer or developer in a social or in a technical way directly to the Debian Project.
Target groups
Debian users who are curious how this is all made, who want to look behind the curtain in a nice way and probably find out how they could be part of the game themselves.

People interested to participate as instructors creating courses
- samueloph (I would like to create a packaging course)
- highvoltage (I started work on package management videos before, can turn it into something more structured that builds up to something like the course that samueloph wants to do, although I'm short on time right now so might only be able to look into this in 2021)
