Thanks for the lightning talk!

I'd suggest we redirect people interested in packaging or mentoring to
the usual Debian channels for that:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
irc://irc.debian.org/debian-mentors
http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers
https://wiki.debian.org/gsoc
https://wiki.debian.org/OPW

There have been very few release parties (I count 3) or BSPs (I count 1)
in Australia in recent years, would be great if there were more.

https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseParty
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2012/03/au/Perth

Please use the official Debian wiki pages for it:

https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups#Australia

Also there is an IRC channel, #debian-au on irc.debian.org (aka OFTC).
