Subject: please create a debian-za list for our Debian local user group in South Africa

Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 17:11:40 +0200

Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi

I'm requesting a new list as per https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list

Purpose and intended audience:

We're in a need of a list to co-ordinate activities for the Debian South Africa Local Group.
We have several members already and co-ordinating over individual emails have become a pain.

Name: debian-za

Rationale: To have a list where we can co-ordinate local events, point new potential developers
in the right direction, and to provide basic training or support.

Short description: discussion list for the Debian South Africa Local Group

Long Description:
 This list is used by the South African Local Group to:
  - Discuss local events, like Debian Day, Bug squashing parties,
    sprints, braais and mini-debconfs
  - Help local contributors to get set up to be a contributor
    (sign up to salsa, wiki, set up reportbug, etc)
  - Provide some basic support or training to new users

Category: users

Subscription policy: open

Web archive: yes

thanks,

-Jonathan

I think your request should be for debian-dug-za or
debian-dug-southafrica If I understood your request correctly.

What language should be used in there?

It would be also very much appreciated if several other people
interested in the new list would send a mail to the bug, in order to
record their interest. Til now there is none.

Yours,
        Cord, Debian Listmaster of the day

I suppose debian-dug-za could work!

English

Alright, we have about a dozen people who would currently use it, we 
have another meeting tomorrow and it's already inconvenient having to 
use matrix/telegram/signal/irc etc without one good formal channel. 
Especially as we seek to grow our community, but I'll get others to 
chime in if that helps, although that's an odd request especially not 
seeing it anywhere as part of the process.

| Interested audience.

| real need for a new, separate discussion forum, rather than on the
| whim of the requester. A modicum of audience is also necessary to
