Beginner How_to

While the Debian Academy page has links to the various required resources, it was pointed out, that all this information needs to be easy to find.

There are several key parts to the Project infrastructure

  1. Mailing list
  2. Storm
  3. GitLab
  4. IRC
  5. Moodle
  6. Peertube
  7. Adapt
  8. H5P

So to take each one of the above, in turn and explain how to engage with each
