#use wml::debian::template title="Getting in Contact with Us" NOCOMMENTS="yes"
<p>Debian is a large organization and there are a lot of ways to contact it.
This page will summarize the often requested means of contacting; it is by
no means exhaustive. Please refer to the rest of the web pages for other
contact methods.</p>
<p>
Please note that most of the e-mail addresses below
represent open mailing lists with public archives.
Read the <a href="$(HOME)/MailingLists/disclaimer">\
disclaimer</a> before sending any messages.
</p>
<p>English language is the common language for communication with Debian
developers. We therefore ask that initial enquiries to developers be made
in <strong>English</strong>. If this is not possible, go through
<a href="https://lists.debian.org/users.html#debian-user">the user mailing list for your
language</a>.</p>

<h2 id="generalinfo">General Information</h2>
<p>Most of the information about Debian is collected on our web site,
<a href="$(HOME)">https://www.debian.org/</a>, so please browse and
<a href="$(SEARCH)">search</a> through it before contacting us.
<p>Our <a href="doc/user-manuals#faq">FAQ</a> will answer many of your questions.
<p>Questions regarding the Debian Project in general can be sent to the
<em>debian-project</em> mailing list, at
<email debian-project@lists.debian.org>.
Please don't send questions about using Linux to that list; read on
below for that.
<h2 id="installuse">Installing and Using Debian</h2>
<p>If you are certain the documentation on the installation media and on our
web site doesn't have a solution to your problem, there's a very active user
mailing list where Debian users and developers can answer your questions,
the <em>debian-user</em> mailing list.
All questions regarding
<ul>
<li>installation
<li>configuration
<li>supported hardware
<li>machine administration
<li>using Debian
</ul>
should be sent to that list.
Simply <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/">subscribe to
<em>debian-user</em></a> and send your question to
<email debian-user@lists.debian.org>.
<p>Additionally, there are user mailing lists for speakers of various
languages. See the <a href="https://lists.debian.org/users.html#debian-user">subscription info
for international mailing lists</a>.
<p>Furthermore, you can browse our mailing lists as newsgroups using a web
interface, such as <a href="http://groups.google.com/">Google</a>.
<p>If you think you've found a bug in our installation system, send
information about it to
<email debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
or <a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/i386/ch05s04#submit-bug">file a bug report</a> against the <a
href="https://bugs.debian.org/debian-installer">debian-installer</a>
pseudo-package.
<h2 id="press">Publicity / Press</h2>
<p>Those requesting information for articles or submitting news for our
news page should contact our <a href="mailto:press@debian.org">publicity
department</a>.
<h2 id="events">Events / Conferences</h2>
<p>Invitations for <a href="$(HOME)/events/">conferences</a> and
exhibitions or other type of events should be sent to <a
href="mailto:events@debian.org">events department</a>. Requests for
flyers, posters and participation in Europe should be sent to the
European <a href="mailto:debian-events-eu@lists.debian.org">events
list</a>.</p>
<h2 id="helping">Helping Debian</h2>
<p>If you would like to contact Debian to offer help, please see the
<a href="devel/join/">possible ways of helping</a> first.
<p>If you would like to maintain a Debian mirror, see the pages about
<a href="mirror/">mirroring Debian</a>. New mirrors are submitted using
<a href="mirror/submit">this form</a>. Problems with existing mirrors
can be reported at <email mirrors@debian.org>.
<p>If you would like to sell Debian CDs, see the <a href="CD/vendors/info">\
information for CD vendors</a>. To get listed on the CD vendor list, please
<a href="CD/vendors/adding-form">do so using this form</a>.
<h2 id="packageproblems">Reporting problems in Debian packages</h2>
<p>If you would like to file a bug against a Debian package, we have a bug
tracking system where you can easily report your problem. Please read the
<a href="Bugs/Reporting">instructions for filing bug reports</a>.
<p>If you simply want to communicate with the maintainer of a Debian
package, then you can use the special mail aliases set up for each package.
Any mail sent to <<var>package name</var>>@packages.debian.org will be
forwarded to the maintainer responsible for that package.
<p>If you would like to make the developers aware of a Debian security
problem in a discreet manner, send e-mail to
<email security@debian.org>.
<h2 id="development">Debian Development</h2>
<p>If you have questions that are more development related, there are
several <a href="https://lists.debian.org/devel.html">development mailing lists</a>
in Debian that you can use to contact our developers.
<p>The general development mailing list is <em>debian-devel</em>: you can
<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/">subscribe</a> to it and
then send e-mail to
<email debian-devel@lists.debian.org>.
<h2 id="infrastructure">Problems with Debian infrastructure</h2>
<p>To report a problem with a Debian service, you can usually
<a href="Bugs/Reporting">report a bug</a> against the appropriate
<a href="Bugs/pseudo-packages">pseudo-package</a>.
<p>Alternatively, you can use e-mail to contact them.

<h2 id="harassment">Harassment issues</h2>
<p>Debian is a community of people who value respect and dialog. If
you are a victim of any behaviour that harms you or feel you have been
harassed, whether it is during a conference or sprint organised by the
project, or through general project interactions, please contact the
Community Team at: <email community@debian.org>.</p>
<p>We also have a complete list of different <a href="intro/organization">
jobs and e-mails to use</a> to contact various parts of the organization.
