Enrico Zini - Debian Contributors - The doocratic hat

There is a new hat in Debian, bearing the flattering title of "Debian Contributor". Everyone who contributes to Debian is entitled to have it, and automatically gets it. It is a way to give due credit to all manners of contributions to the project. It is a way to make all the energy that is poured into Debian visible.

I will show the reasons behind the idea. I will show how contributors.debian.org works, how to send data to it. I will show how this is going to dramatically change the way we perceive Debian, and very much for the better.
