    I might join, but I am not sure whether it is a really good idea to
    promote a non-free-service like Telegram from within Debian.

    In terms of chat, we already have #debian-nordic, which is admittedly
    pretty dead. 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

    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!

    Best,
    Mattias

    I agree that we should encourage a true open source alternative like
    Mattermost or Matrix.org or Zulip instead.

    Hi,

    As much as I love free software, I also need to consider how to make things more active.

    We can have IRC, Matrix, Mastodon, Diaspora, etc. But the last two Debian meetups I hosted nobody from this mailing list showed up. So we are
    talking about an empty audience. And worse: during the events, nobody was using Debian in their laptops (me included).

    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.

    BTW I use the free software client named "plus" to access Telegram.

    If the kind of meetings you host are ones where non-Debian-users attend,

    "Debian meetups".

    Mobile is definitely a thing nowadays, but certainly not the only one.

    Nice that you mention here that other user channels exist.

    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,

    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.

    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.
