Dear Debian Developers

I hereby appoint the following developers as members of the Debian
Publicity Team:

- Donald Norwood (donald)
- Anupa Ann Joseph (anupa)

This represents the stepping down of Laura Arjona Reina (larjona)
from the team. We thank Laura for her diligent and careful work over
the years.

Any previous delegation to the same team, not explicitly listed above,
is revoked. The delegation is not time-limited; it will be effective
until further changes by present or future Project Leaders.


Task Description
-----------------

* The publicity team moderate news and announcements in all the Debian
official resources:

- mailing lists of general interest, such as debian-announce and
debian-news (but not the the localized -news-$lang mailing lists)

- the official blog of the Debian project, "Bits from Debian"

- any official social media of the project

- and any other channels where Debian gets an official online
presence.

* The team is also responsible for the maintenance of the News
part of the English version of the Debian website (i.e. the content
currently located under webwml/english/News/).

* The team is in charge of deciding the most suitable publication
venue or venues for announcements and when they are published.

* Team members must word articles in a way that reflects the Debian
project's stance on issues rather than their own personal opinion.

* Finally, the Publicity Team is the official Debian contact point
for press inquiries and media people outside Debian. When acting in
such capacity, members of the team act as a spokesperson of the
Debian Project.
