New Business
============

SteveM
~~~~~~
|
|  SteveM requests a few minutes to put forth a proposal to implement a
|  means for people to contribute packages direct to Devuan instead of
|  via Debian.
|  - (plasma41) As it stands, Devuan's modus operandi is to fork Debian
|    packages where necessary in order to use those packages without
|    needing to run systemd as PID 1. New packages should be contributed
|    to Debian directly whenever possible.
|  - (plasma41) Debian's new NEW queue dashboard:
|    https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/dashboard
|  - golinux: Do check out:
|    https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/pipermail/debian-init-diversity/
