When acting in such capacity, members of the team act as a spokesperson of the Debian Project. * Reference: [[https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/09/msg00007.html|Updating delegation - Press/Publicity/Bits]], by the DPL, September 2015 == Services handled by the team == * [[http://www.debian.org/News/index.html|Latest News]] (maintenance of the "News" part of the English version of the Debian website (i.e. the content currently located under webwml/english/News/)). * Moderation of announcement mailing lists of general interest, such as [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce|debian-announce]] and [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-news|debian-news]] (but not the the [[http://lists.debian.org/users.html#debian-news-french|localized -news-$lang mailing lists]]). * ''[[ProjectNews|Debian Project News]]'' (DPN) * [[/Timeline|timeline.d.n]] * [[/bits.debian.org|Debian's blog, bits.debian.org]] * [[https://micronews.debian.org/pages/contribute.html|Debian's micronews, micronews.debian.org]] (its RSS is used as source for @debian profiles in social networks) * [[http://identi.ca/debian|Debian's Identi.ca account (in Pump.io social network)]] * [[PressCoverage|Press coverage]] ## * Project information: [http://www.debian.org/News Debian.org News] ## * Debian press announcements: [http://times.debian.net: Debian Times] * [[News|Debian News]] wiki page. ## * /org/''service'' on host ''composer''.debian.org * Handle the mail received at press@debian.org <> == Infrastructure == * '''Website''': ''http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity'' * '''Salsa Project''': ''http://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team'' ## * '''Documentation''': [wiki:/Guidelines debian publicity team guidelines] * '''Unix group''': publicity (needed to trigger a partial rebuild on www-master.debian.org, after having committed new announcements) * '''Files''': master.debian.org:/home/publicity/private/ (passwords for external services) == Interacting with the team == ## * '''Read the FAQ first''': [wiki:/FAQ FAQ] ''replace that link if you already have a FAQ somewhere else'' === Contact points === * '''Email''': debian-publicity@lists.debian.org (public list, for general stuff) * '''Email''': press@debian.org (private mail, contact for journalists and media, and announcements that need to be kept in private until released) * '''IRC''': [[irc://irc.debian.org/debian-publicity|#debian-publicity]] on irc.debian.org (OFTC) === How to use publicity "services" === '''[[/DeveloperInformation|Developer information]]''' explains how to use press/publicity facilities. = Get involved = == Help with the promotion of the Releases == * [[Teams/Publicity/Release|Help with the promotion of the next Debian release]] * [[Teams/ReleaseTeam/ReleaseCheckList|release checklist]] * [[Teams/ReleaseTeam/PointReleaseCheckList|point-release checklist]] * [[ReleaseParty|release party!]] == Contribute to Debian Project News == * <> Find a topic for a DPN entry. * <> Redact a DPN entry. * [[ProjectNews/HowToContribute|Detailed info about how to contribute to Debian Project News]] == Translate announcements and press releases == * <> Translate draft communications (press releases, DPN editions). * [[News/HowToTranslate|Detailed info about how to translate announcements and press releases]] * [[/Announcements|Announcement workflow]] - Please note that if the announcement to be sent is to be kept private until the release, it should be handled via mail to press@debian.org . == Promote Debian == * [[Promote|Promote Debian]] * [[/Identica|Identi.ca (Pump.io)]] * [[/otherSN |Other social networks]] * [[/bits.debian.org|Contribute with a post to the Debian's blog, bits.debian.org]] == Tracking press coverage == * <> Look for news from the press and update [[PressCoverage|press coverage pages]].
