Hey everyone

I suppose some people might be wondering if I'm writing a platform for
this election- and the answer is YES!

I meant to have it ready by the end of the weekend, but got hit by some
tummy bug that's been going around and just couldn't concentrate on the
platform much. I'll work on it tonight and send it to the secretary ASAP.

Even though I'm the only one running this time, I hope that we can use
the time leading to the election as productive discussion time as we've
done in some previous campaign periods.

thanks!

I believe this year is a special because it's 30 years of Debian.

So we need a speciall call for celebration :-)

I agree, last year I was swamped around Debian's birthday nearly even
missed it altogether. I was thinking then that it would be a lost
opportunity to not do something bigger for the 30th.

How enthusiastic are you about this? Would you be willing to put
together a team who could help manage a 30th birthday? This could be
great for local teams, especially if we could try something like 30
birthday parties in 30 cities across the world, and perhaps 30
talks/events that could be broadcasted during the event.

Might be nice to set it up DebConf-style, complete with a wafer site and
have the video infra up for it, but I'm just spitballing here. Either
way, I'm very happy to support a team who work on 30th birthday
celebrations, and the budget for it won't be a problem. If some people
from local teams could get together to brainstorm and plan it, I'm sure
it could be something very memorable.

Johathan: Thanks for allocating budget!

That would be thursday august 16, 2023. Seems our friends in La Paz, Bolivia
are already planning: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay/2023 .

Yes, I'm interested in helping out in .nl.

Bye,

Joost
