My answer might be quite general, but I think In my opinion, Debian is facing two problems: - Promotion: We do not explain enough how we do Debian, the important changes that Debian will implement, etc... - Organization: We want to encourage more sprints, provide hardware to developers, etc... but we can do that only partially because we still lack a clear vision on our budget. I believe the Roadmap will help us for the first subject and the partners program, once in place, will bring new (useful) workflows on the organization side. > Contrariwise, what do you think is already working really well? > It is quite easy to ask for a budget to organize a sprint.

I think it will greatly help the teams if we had a list of typical locations for sprints and possibly the cost of those locations (which can be offered by partners or with a fixed cost). Another aspect could be to work on a checklist for meetup organizers and some guidelines to have efficient meetings. We do have [1] but we can review it and possibly enhance it. -- Mehdi
