Hello Gabriel!

Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in collaborating in the 
Debian Project. Gabriel and I met talking about the DebConf26 in a 
Telegram group called "Debian en Español» t.me/DebianLatinoamerica and 
he told me about his interest to be a Debian package maintainer. At the 
moment I have shared with him the "Debian New Maintainers' Guide" 
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ as well invited him to 
join to our following mailing lists and IRC channels to start 
integrating him to our community:

Debian Project - https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/
Debian Devel - https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/
Debian Devel Announce - https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/
Debian Mentors - https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
Debian New Maintainer - https://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint

IRC oftc
#debian
#debian-devel
#debian-latam
#debian-mentors
#debian-mentors-es
#debconf

I have added Emmanuel because Gabriel also lives in Argentina and I 
think he and other friends in Argentina could introduce him to Debian 
Argentina. Could someone mentor Gabriel in his journey to be a package 
maintainer please? Please also tell me is this is the right mailing list 
for this purposes or someone has got a more accurate mailing list 
suggestion.

Cheers and safe trip back home!
