Hi Dmitry,
Cc-ing list since answers to questions about how to get started as a Debian
contributor, or working with PGP, might be interesting to others too.
Debian User Dutch-subscribers: excuses dat deze mail in het Engels is. Dmitry
woont in Nederland maar schrijft makkelijker Engels dan Nederlands, geloof ik.
Ik ontmoette hem op de Debian Bug Squashing Party, onlangs in Tilburg. Cc mij
en Dmitry op replies aub; ik ben niet ge-abonneerd op deze lijst.

Sure. Please CC to me, as I might not be subscribed to that particular
maillist.

Thanks! Will process it later, and sign your key later. Please remind

I tried to follow the document Debian packaging using git
(http://mdcc.cx/dpg.txt) you have suggested, but I find it a bit
difficult to understand completely what is going on in the examples you
provide. I have found another manual
(http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.html)
which is more easy for me to start with right now. I will practise once
I have some project on Git.
OK, nice.
I have checked the debian-newmain maillist and I see that DM
applications already refer the existing packages. That means I have to
find a sponsor first to initiate a package, and then request for DM?
Yes, finding a DM is easier once you can show some work you've done for Debian.
BTW, you don't need a sponsor to do Debian-work: you can e.g. create a .deb and
publish that work on e.g. your own website. You can also apply for an account
on alioth.debian.org, and start contributing to work there, using e.g. git.
I have found Debian chemistry community
(http://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/chemistry) -- I think this is
right place to find further help and sponsor.
Yup, that's a good way to enter.
P.S. Sorry, I might have send the previous email to you encrypted by my
key... Strange how Thunderbird came to such an idea. What software do
you use to sign/encrypt email messages?
mutt with GnuPG. If you 'apt install mutt' on a Debian system, the
gnupg-integration works out of the box, iirc.
Take care, Bye,
Joost
