Jury
Ten seats. People who already ship Free Software.
Named jurors are published when an edition’s invitations go out. The seats below are what they judge: mergeable work, not theatre. They choose the three teams, assign the feature so nobody starts early, and decide which patch takes the prize.
Desktop & accessibility
Systems & networking
Developer tools
Databases
Office & documents
Web & PHP
Security & licensing
Documentation
Community & mentoring
A Debian seat on the jury is not a substitute for a backlog Debian users actually want. File the request anyway.
