Description:
Debian Project Leader (DPL) Andreas Tille has announced a new delegation for Debian's data projection 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.
