Invitation for Debian enthusiasts to join Debian booth at SfN
The NeuroDebian team [1] runs a Debian booth [2] at the Society for Neuroscience meeting (SfN2010) that will take place November 13-17 in San Diego, USA [0]. The annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience is one of the largest neuroscience conferences in the world, with over 30,000 attendees. Researchers, clinicians, and leading experts discuss the latest findings about the brain, nervous system, and related disorders. We still have few free slots for booth personnel. If you are a Debian enthusiast (developer, contributor, evangelist) and reside near San Diego (or have time and funds for travel/lounge), or already planing to attend SfN 2010, please help us to make the Debian booth at SfN shine.

So, ask.d.n seems to be a fairly uncontroversial choice, according to
this thread. Therefore I've registered ask.d.n and prepared a
redirection from shapado.d.n to ask.d.n on a server of mine. In a few
days I'll make the switch.
Done (modulo some DNS propagation time). The new URL is
http://ask.debian.net and transparent redirection is in place from the
old domain. Please update your bookmarks.
Cheers.

QTS ( was Re: user support - Shapado instance for Debian)

I have written about this earlier but perhaps right now is the correct time and forum. Here's a use case example: == I am the maintainer for open-iscsi. You have a question/suggestion regarding open-iscsi. Apart from the other folks, I, as the maintainer, am one of the most informed person for this package. What we should have is a question tracking system similar to our bug tracking system. This QTS should also be a bi-gateway to the mailing lists. You use reportbug to file a query on QTS. I, as the maintianer, automatically receive the query. Also, debian-user and other relevant mailing list, gets the message. Users on those lists can choose to answer/ignore. Same way, I can choose to answer. An answer coming from the Package Maintainer will usually be more reliable. At the same time, the Maintainer does not have to answer every message. There will mostly be people responding from the QTS = Mailing List gateway. The Maintainer can also help here as a validator of information being spread about relevant packages. Ultimately, all this information gets publically archived/mined and serves as useful information. == One solution: all package maintainers subscribe to debian-user, and set filters on their respective packages.

Unfortunately yes. In too many cases it is impossible to tell from the subject (or even body) if a specific message is related to a specific package. Even if you could, for some packages (think Gnome or Iceweasel) you would hit the same problem as with bugs: too many to sort...

Would this be sub-optimal? That does not solve the problem. A year later, when a user wants to see all queries regarding a specific package, he needs to run through search engines and mailing list archives. Data that is not organized is useless. PS: Now that we have shapado running I hope we can soon do something to implement a QTS.
