We’re now looking forward to the rolling Debian Policy spring at DebCamp18. You do not need to be physically present at DebCamp18 to participate. My goal is firstly to enable others to work on bugs by providing advice about the process and how to move things along, and secondarily to get some patches written for uncontroversial bugs.
See the linked wiki page for more information on the sprint.
