Debian 10 (buster) is planned to be released on 2019-07-06.

If you have time the week before, and particularly the day of the release, you can engage with the Publicity Team to help promoting the release.

We have had a meeting to review and start preparing the work. Please read the minutes:

https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity/Meetings/2019-06-20

Below is a list of tasks to which you can contribute. Feel free to edit this page to add more tasks or ideas, split them in microtasks, and sign up for the ones that you can do :)

IMPORTANT: Join our IRC channel #debian-publicity, we coordinate everything there and can help with any issue with the tooling etc.

Live coverage of the release (via micronews.debian.org)

Preparation

Contribute to the "filler" suggesting news, updating/reusing from last time, or [N]ACKing other people's proposals:

https://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team/publicity/blob/master/release/dents/filler.txt

Learn how to contribute to micronews: https://micronews.debian.org/pages/contribute.html

Shifts for the actual coverage during the release weekend

Please add yourself when you like and can. You'll need access to git to commit the news, and to IRC to coordinate. A publicity delegate also needs to be available to build micronews.debian.org to actually publish the news (or maybe we can cron, we'll see).

General availability: * LauraArjona: I plan to start the weekend, and then cover the slots where we have less people (I can adapt my sleep/resting times).
