-I am working towards doing whatever I can to better the situation.
-How many times did we have a non-(cis)male candidate for DPL? If I am

-I have heard that Debian-women project did some incredible work in

-being that online communication often leads to miscommunication and
-unintended flame wars. As a community,</span></font> <font size="3" style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-weight: normal">we
-need to work towards making Debian more welcoming to all – new

-<font size="3" style="font-size: 12pt">It is often observed that

+			<h2>What are my plans as DPL</h2>
+			<h3>1. Diversity</h3>
+			<p>
+				Since diversity is my primary focus, let me start with that.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Diversity budget</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				In-spite of spending a good amount of money on diversity, we seem to
+				not get the expected outcome. My first task as DPL would be to
+				revisit the existing spending pattern to analyse why and where we
+				are going wrong. When I say we should focus on diversity, I do not

+			<p>
+				Another thing I would focus with respect to the diversity budget is
+				to publicise it more so that people who deserve it get to know about
+				it so that we do not end up spending it just for the sake of spending.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Diversity activities</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				I have heard that Debian-women project did some incredible work in
+				improving women contributors till it went dormant. Now we have the
+				Debian-diversity initiative, but this hasn’t gained much momentum
+				yet. I plan to streamline their activities and if possible have a
+				delegated team focusing on diversity. The delegated team shall
+				co-ordinate all the diversity related activities in Debian. This
+				team will also be involved in the decisions and expenditure of the
+				diversity budget.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Local activities</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				Debian-localgroups which was conceptualised by our current DPL is a
+				great idea to promote geographical diversity. I plan to use the
+				potential of localgroups to organize more local events and have more
+				diverse people contribute to Debian.
+			</p>
+			<h3>2. Outreach</h3>
+			<p>
+				My second focus area is outreach activities. I have been working with
+				the Debian-outreach team for more than 3 years now. I feel outreach
+				is one important activity which often does not get its due importance.
+				Our outreach team end up being just co-ordinators for GSoC and Outreachy.
+				I have a couple of ideas planned out for outreach.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Debian camp</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				Debian camp is a concept that I borrowed from
+				<a href="https://camp.fsf.org.in/">Free Software Camp</a> for which I was
+				one of the core organizers. Basically the concept is to have 3-4
+				months long online mentorship program. The advantage of a Debian
+				specific mentorship program is that we can tailor the program according
+				to our specific needs.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				There will be two parts for the program. In the first part, the primary
+				focus will be on the philosophy of Debian (and free software) and why
+				one should contribute to Debian etc. We can have common sessions on
+				these topics for the mentees. In the second part, the mentees will work
+				with mentors on the projects of their choice.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				In this activity, I plan to have the Debian-outreach team as the
+				co-ordinators/facilitators who work in collaboration with
+				Debian-diversity, Debian-localgroups, Debian Academy etc. The
+				Debian-outreach team will be doing the back-end activities of
+				organizing, scheduling etc. while other teams will be helping out with
+				resource persons/mentors/projects etc. I specifically intend to have
+				Debian-localgroups involved so that we can have localised activities
+				and not just in English.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				The question of whether to pay stipend or not could be discussed later
+				and decided (we did not have stipend for the Free Software Camp and
+				still it was a success).
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>DebConf Boot-camp</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				This is an in person camp which can happen during the DebCamp (this
+				is an idea I borrowed from mollydb). I believe that there is nothing
+				like in-person mentoring.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				Often we have new people who attend the DebConf are confused on what
+				and how to start contributing. This bootstrapping activity can help
+				them to find directions. I do believe that we have a lot of people
+				interested to help out with this. Exact plan to have this worked out
+				can be discussed and decided later.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Review of current activities</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				A thorough review of current outreach activities is long overdue. We
+				need to examine the effectiveness of our GSoC and Outreachy
+				participations, what we can do better and what we can do new.
+			</p>
+			<h3>3. Community</h3>
+			<p>
+				Debian community is a great community. But that does not mean we are
+				perfect. Some points I would be interested to take up as DPL are:
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Welcoming</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				Even when we say we are a welcoming community, for an outsider it
+				might not appear so. There are a lot of reasons for this. The main
+				reason being that online communication often leads to miscommunication
+				and unintended flame wars. As a community, we need to work towards
+				making Debian more welcoming to all – new comers and old timers alike.
+				I am very keen on facilitating discussions on this as a DPL.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Change embracing</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				It is often observed that Debian as a community is reluctant to change
+				most of the time. As a DPL, I would like to develop a culture of
+				embracing change. I would encourage and facilitate people proposing
+				new ideas and processes for improvement of Debian.
+			</p>
+			<h3>4. 	Debian as an organisation</h3>
+			<h4><b>Debian Foundation (?)</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				In some of the previous years’ DPL campaigns, having Debian as a
+				registered organisation has come up. In 2020, Brian Gupta’s platform
+				focused on forming Debian Foundation and in 2022, Jonathan Carter
+				mentioned about formal registration of Debian as an organisation.
+				While organising DebConf23, I had to face some issues because Debian
+				is not a registered organisation, That is when I started thinking
+				about this concept seriously.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				So, as a DPL, I would be definitely interested in exploring the
+				possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of having Debian
+				registered. I am not saying that this is my main agenda, but it will
+				definitely be brought up if I am elected.
+			</p>
+			<h4><b>Trusted organisations</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				As one of the main responsibilities of DPL is financial management,
+				I would like to revisit our relationship with the existing trusted
+				organisations, fund management procedure and if needed, explore the
+				possibilities of having more TOs to reduce dependency on one or two.
+				During DebConf23 organising, we had to face numerous fund distribution
+				issues. Some of it definitely was specific to Indian scenario, but still
+				I could think of a lot of improvement that can be done with respect to
+				fund distribution through TOs.
+			</p>
+			<h3>5. Financial</h3>
+			<h4><b>Accounting</b></h4>
+			<p>
+				From previous DPLs, I have heard that the current process of accounting
+				of Debian assets is very complicated. As DPL, I would like to put some
+				focus on streamlining and automating the accounting process across
+				different TOs. I am thinking about having some process set up by which
+				we can have a transparent and upto date asset information available.
+			</p>
+			<h3>6. Miscellaneous</h3>
+			<h4><b> DPL helpers</b> (DPL committee?)</h4>
+			<p>
+				I have heard from the previous DPLs that the workload is too huge to be
+				completed by a single person. During my last round of contesting,
+				someone suggested the concept of having helpers for DPL. I agree with
+				the thought process and I intend to have 1-2 people to do some work that
+				can be offloaded from the DPL workload. This would help in reducing
+				revert time and increasing efficiency.
+			</p>
+			<h2>Time commitment</h2>
+			<p>
+				One advantage I have over most of the previous and present DPL
+				candidates is the amount of time I will be able to commit for my DPL
+				activities. My work setup is such that I get to decide when and how
+				much time I work. This means that I can give good priority to the DPL
+				activities.
