The Debian project acknowledge that: to pursue Debian goals package maintenance as well as a wide range of other technical and non-technical contributions are all valuable. Active contributors of non-packaging work, who share Debian values and are ready to uphold Debian Foundation Documents, deserve the opportunity to become Debian Developers.

9 non uploading DDs vs 998 uploading DDs

slide-6

but there are many more people doing non packaging work in Debian and there's an ongoing effort to map them: ! Debian Contributors

slide-7
SLIDE 7

WHO?

translators events organizers and volunteers graphic artists publicity people (DPN and press editors) wiki editors website contributors ...everyone who doesn't do packaging work!

slide-8
SLIDE 8

WHY?

I don't need to be a DD to do my debian contributions, why should I bother? to have "citizenship rights" in the project!

slide-9
SLIDE 9

HOW?

Ok, you convinced me: how can I do it?

slide-10
SLIDE 10

con<*ibH<e!

there are many places where to start, it depends on what you like to do! (debian-l10n-$language, website, wiki, publicity team, Q&A, etc)

slide-11
SLIDE 11

find:/ome:adUoca<e/

if you work in a team, it will be easier

slide-12
SLIDE 12

bee*/igning

come and meet us: at DebConf, mini DebConfs, etc. We're awesome! (Also: beer. And signatures on your GPG key)

slide-13

it's just a click away!

ON COMMUNICATION

slide-18
SLIDE 18

a//Hme:good:fai<h

and never take it personally! look at our (soon to be?) code of conduct

slide-19
SLIDE 19

be:<Vo:<ime/:mo*e:oli<e:<han:H/Hal

accounting for: language/cultural gap fallacies of non verbal communication

slide-20
SLIDE 20

go:/<*aigh<:<o:<he:oin<

time is a scarce resource for all of us, even more the time to read emails

slide-21
SLIDE 21

*emembe*:<he:diUe*/i<Y:a*adoW

...and its solution: from "yes, but" to "yes, and"

slide-22
SLIDE 22

and:in:<he:mo*e:hea<ed:di/cH//ion/

when the going gets tough, the tough send no more than a mail every 3-5 days on the same thread

slide-23
SLIDE 23

This way, you'll be able to: give other people space to voice their opinion cool down think carefully about the content of it: that mail is your only chance for some days to make your point

slide-24
SLIDE 24

bH<:Vha<:if:i<:goe/:oH<:of:hand:anYVaY

shut down the pc, go for a walk try to clear the air via private mail

ON COLLABORATION

slide-28
SLIDE 28

docHmen<a<ion:i/:YoH*:f*iend

...but with limits if it takes you a day of googling and reading obscure manuals (and you're not enjoying it), it's either one of these:

slide-29
SLIDE 29

<he:in/<*Hc<ion/:a*e:no<:clea*:enoHgh

ask your teammates to not use technobabble when explaining what is your task

slide-30
SLIDE 30

YoH:a*e:being:<oo:/hY

asking is ok you are not stupid for asking you are not expected to know everything

slide-31

ON FEELING AN IMPOSTOR

slide-32
SLIDE 32

in:Debian:YoH:a*e:<he:/ca*ce:*e/oH*ce

we have plenty of excellent packagers, what we need is people with other skills

like:YoH!

slide-33
SLIDE 33

ON OVERCOMMITMENT

no means no... ... but you have to say it! don't let yourself or other people bully you into doing something

slide-34
SLIDE 34

"This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way no one will."

slide-35
SLIDE 35

":bH<:if:I:don)<:do:i<,:no:one:el/e:Vill!"

not true. also, not a good motivation for doing something especially if it involves being in charge or having responsabilities

slide-36
SLIDE 36

NOTHING IS FOREVER

do you need a break from Debian? just take it! the world won't end without you volunteering is not and should not be a life sentence (also, there are lots of cool projects out there that could use another hand!)
