!groups soon.
Today I uploaded #Gamemode (https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode) to #Debian unstable. Please test and let me know how it goes or file a bug.
What I love about this #DebConf is seeing so many people here learning Debian packaging. Glad that people are also spending the time helping others, it's so much easier learning from a person than navigating the docs by yourself!
In DebConf19 (Brazil) Meeting. Good start I'm already looking forward to #DebConf in Curitiba.
Question to Minister Tang: What do you wish from Debian? Answer: "I want Debian to live long and prosper" #DebConf
