Hi
I would like to join the Debian Python Team. I have read the policy.rst
and accept it.
I plan to contribute on existing packages such as python-vlc (for which
I am the upstream author), python-gstreamer and python-gtk, and also
would like to reintroduce the Advene package.
Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), developed with python,
Gtk and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got
removed some years ago due to major migrations (python2->python3,
Gtk2->Gtk3, Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0).
Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good
shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3],
migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3
years (distributed through a private repository[4]). As per [5]/[6]
a ITP bug has been filed: #1014535
It was previously maintained under the Multimedia Team umbrella, but
I think the python team may be a better umbrella. I am looking for help/sponsorship from the Python Team to help getting the package back
in Debian. I can do most of the work but would welcome guidance wrt the
current practices of python packages.
Happy hacking! Best,
Olivier Aubert
