If the kind of meetings you host are ones where non-Debian-users attend, then perhaps it makes better sense to call them something else than "Debian meetups". Most effective way I learnt is to test out different descriptions and approaches. One could call them Debian Meetups, or something else (Debian-related of your choice) and announce them on all channels, including mailing list, bring a Debian laptop and make the different conversation topics Debian-related. If I could I would have attended, and probably wanted to switch to Debian in time for those meetups. Maybe starting a Debian association in Sweden would gauge and grow interest? And everything is definitely mobile nowadays. Telegram isn't an attempt to hijack this mailing list or any other communication media, but to increase the possibilities. Even for newcomers. Mobile is definitely a thing nowadays, but certainly not the only one. Nice that you mention here that other user channels exist. I say "yes and", and I'm for announcing on non-free channels and guide people to free channels. Please continue to use all channels, and great if more people find the mailing list. BTW I use the free software client named "plus" to access Telegram. Nice. Even nicer if free software with a homepage and usable on mainline linux - and if not already packaged in Debian then had an RFP or ITP bureport filed - see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l1 Good luck with that Telegram channel, - Jonas Good luck with all channels! ;) /Mattias

I agree that we should encourage a true open source alternative like Mattermost or Matrix.org or Zulip instead.
Re: Group created at Telegram: https://t.me/debian_nordics
I agree with Andreas, would like a try to reboot chat based on a free system (as well). However also agree on any initiative where Debian can be present is good. I say "yes and" to Telegram (directed toward newcomers) and hope to see you all at IRC!

For this reason, I am a bit skeptical whether adding a fourth venue of communication besides the two mailinglists and #debian-nordic on IRC will improve matters. Note, that I don't mean to be discouraging and I do appreciate any effort to put more life into the Nordic and Swedish Debian communities! Regards, Andreas
