Contacting Debian Haskell Group

Hi,

as your Debian Project Leader I'd like to officially contact all our
teams to learn about potential issues that might affect your work.  I
would love to learn how you organise / share your workload.  If you do
some regular meetings - be it on IRC, video conference or whatever I'm
interested in joining one of your next meetings.

Like previous DPLs, I'm open to any inquiries or requests for
assistance. I personally prefer public discussion whenever possible, as
they can benefit a wider audience. You can find a list of contact
options at the bottom of my page on people.d.o[1].

I prefer being offline when I'm away from my keyboard, so I don't carry
a phone. In urgent situations, I can provide the number of my dumb
phone, though it may not always be within reach. Feel free to ping me
via email if I don't respond promptly to ensure I address your concerns.

Please let me know whether I can do something for you.  I'm fine joining
your IRC channel if needed but please invite me in case I should be
informed about some urgent discussion there since I normally do not lurk
on this channel.

I have some specific questions to the Debian Haskell Group.

  - Do you feel good when doing your work in Debian Haskell Group?
  - Do you consider the workload of your team equally shared amongst its
    members?
  - Do you have some strategy to gather new contributors for your team?
  - Can you give some individual estimation how many hours per week you
    are working on your tasks in youre team?  Does this fit the amount of
    time you can really afford for this task?
  - What is your most used / favourite medium (email, IRC, Matrix, video
    conferences, ?) to organise your work?
  - I once got help of your packaging team to get some haskel code packaged.
    At that time I learned that the haskel packaging tool chain depends from
    cdbs.  On the other hand cdbs is considered "smelly" in Debian Trends[2].
    Do you intend to migrate your tool chain to dh?
  - Moreover I learned that the Haskell group is maintaining a single
    repository for most of the packages[3].  I would like to learn about
    your reasons for doing things differently than any other team I'm
    aware of (maybe I'm not correctly informed about other teams doing
    this in a similar way).
  - Can I do anything for you?


Kind regards and thanks a lot for your work
   Andreas.
