• New delegation for Debian's data protection team

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Feb 14 06:40:09 2026

    Debian Project Leader (DPL) Andreas Tille has announced
    a new delegation for Debian's data protection team:

    Following the end of the previous delegation, Debian was left
    without an active Data Protection team. This situation has
    understandably drawn external attention and highlighted the importance
    of having a clearly identified point of contact for data protection
    matters within the project.

    I am therefore very pleased to announce that new volunteers have
    stepped forward, allowing us to re-establish the Debian Data
    Protection team with a fresh delegation.

    Tille had put out a call for
    volunteers in January after all previous members of the team had
    stepped down. He has appointed Aigars Mahinovs, Andrew M.A. Cater,
    Bart Martens, Emmanuel Arias, Gunnar Wolf, Kiran S Kunjumon, and Salvo Tomaselli as the new members of the team. The team provides a central coordination and advisory function around Debian's data handling,
    retention, dealing with deletion requests, and more.
