Dear all (astrophysicists, amateurs, scientists, other), there are now quite some people around that are interested in using Debian for astronomy related tasks. It may be a good idea if we could somehow bring us together and see where we can coordinate our efforts.
Some days ago, I was contacted by the creator of the "DistroAstro" distribution <http://www.distroastro.org/>, which is dedicated to amateur and professional astronomers, asking for help with his distribution. Distroastro is a derivative of Ubuntu. I am now trying to get him interested in creating his packages for Debian instead of just his own distribution; but this example also shows that we are not visible enough to others when speaking about astronomy with Debian. However, I don't have a good idea on how we could organize ourself. The debian-science mailing list is still probably the best place, and an additional mailing list would not make sense yet. There is a (really outdated) wiki page available at <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Astronomy> which could be used as a start. What do you think? What should be the topics we can deal with?
