Hello Fabio and Amirreza,
Sorry for the 2 months of silence from my side. I decided to go back to
school full-time and that has eaten up nearly all my spare time. I
completed my last final today, but will be back to a full load on
January 5th. As such, I'm not going to be much help, but I'm not giving
up completely here!
I did write to Hulu about the Mint team using Hulu logos in their
packages, but I received no response. My guess is they don't really care
as it's primarily just free advertising for them and they aren't out to
enforce their style guide... because, well... doing so would eat labor
costs.
In any event, I'll revisit the existing work and suggestions from Fabio,
then send an update over the next couple of weeks.
Cliff

Hey,
I would be happy helping you in maintaining the cinnamon packages,
but I'm not sure if I have sufficient experience to help you with this.
Would you briefly explain what level of experience you are looking
for? Or provide some links or resources to learn more about it?
I can spend 5-10 hours per month, does that suffice?
Best,
Amirreza
Thanks for your time.
Perhaps it would have been better to reply publicly in the dedicated
RFH (and cc also me).
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to properly train someone
inexperienced (I didn't find your contribution to Debian from a fast
search). Can you tell me what knowledge you have?
Perhaps you can help by starting with small things, like I did at the
beginning in 2014. Then, over time, I learned by watching what the two
experienced DDs on the team at the time (Maxy and Marga) were doing
and also by taking the advice they gave me.
There's a lot of general documentation, while some things differ
depending on the different teams. You can find some things that are
partly specific to the Cinnamon team in a short guide I made:
https://wiki.debian.org/Cinnamon/Packaging
Besides packaging, there would also be bug management (on the debian
bugtracker), testing, and maybe even trying to collaborate with
upstream on some things if possible.
