Hi folks,

Based on some of the *heated* discussions that have happened on the
lists recently, I've organised a DebConf BoF session so we can
(hopefully) have a productive session on the topic of package
maintenance and how to hand over / take over packages.

https://penta.debconf.org/penta/schedule/dc12/event/926.en.html

Thursday 12th July, 11:00 local time (17:00 UTC)

Will there be a video feed of this? I'd love to hear it at least (and
perhaps participate via IRC or something, if someone's willing to
proxy).

Thank you. Even though there are some actions which are definitely
legitimate as per policy and recommendations in the devref, having a
senior developer spell out ideas and discuss it with several
developers lends it a further air of legitimacy, and significantly
reduces inhibition and fear of being reprimanded.

I shall be following this video closely. Thank you for conducting
this.
