For this reason we have decided to refer to what was previously called
"soft rejection" as "cancelling the application". In most cases,
applicants can re-apply after a while, and "cancelling the application"
more clearly communicates this fact.
People who are not knowledgeable or experienced enough are not rejected
by Debian: they are instead provided with more appropriate ways of
joining, such as finding mentors who help them gain experience and
sponsor their packages into the archive.
What was known as a "strong rejection" will however still be referred to
as a "rejection", because that is what it is.
Account name rules
A new account name should be at least 3 characters long, and must be
reasonable, according to the DAM's judgement. We've rejected account
names in the past that were trolling attempts, or things like "root".
Website rewrite
We started to rewrite our website at nm.debian.org. This cleans up the
internal implementation and allows for future improvements in the NM
process handling.
GPG keysigning coordination
FD/DAM would like to to move the GPG keysiging coordination over to
someone else. It's not really part of FrontDesk work; and as we are
rewriting the webpage anyhow we feel this is a right time to move it
over to someone else and not make it part of the new page. Volunteers to
pick up this job are welcome.
Advocation in the NM process
We discussed how advocation of New Maintainers should be done. We agreed
that advocation should be done on a public mailing list and more than
one advocations are appreciated. This is the same as in the DM process
and gives a much better picture about applications. In order for this to
be effective immediately, we ask prospective advocates that for now,
they explicitly Cc the debian-newmaint@lists.debian.org mailinglist; the
rewritten website will make this automatic, once it goes live.
More and well-motivated advocacy messages make the whole process
faster. Though the current NM website does not allow for more than one
advocate, the mailinglist process will, and this is another reason why
we think the process should be made public. Note that after a person has
been advocated, additional advocates need not go through the website; a
simple signed reply on the mailinglist will suffice. This process is
certainly suboptimal, but we are working on this for the new website.
related work. Please only advocate people who have contributed to Debian
already, don't advocate someone that you expect will get involved in
everyone involved.
More AMs wanted
The NM process is always short of application managers. Applicants are
waiting to get one assigned. As usual, we invite experienced DDs to join
up and help out. Remember that AM work is a fun and interesting way to
learn more about Debian and the people involved! It's always better to
have AMs waiting rather than NMs.

There are many things many people don't know about the NM process:
* AMs can pick an NM from the queue, within reason. If you see a
person that you would like to be an AM for, feel free to ask
* There are ways to skip tasks&skills. AMs can read
http://wiki.debian.org/FrontDesk/Tips for some tips.
* Extremely good and very active people in urgent need of an account
can be (and have been) fast-tracked. Feel free to contact Front
Desk/DAM (with detailed motivations) if you see a case where this
is needed. Please keep in mind that this is an exception.
* Common sense is more effective than you'd imagine.

We have several group members whose names should be on the title slide of a Beamer document. However, when I put something like this:
\author{Person A \and Person B \and Person C \and Person D \and Person E}
Person C's name will be broken across two lines.
How can I prevent this from happening?

Box the person's name using \mbox{Person C} (or \hbox{...}). Here's a little example:
enter image description here
\author{Dude Azerbaijan \and Dude Bangkok \and Dude Canada
\and Dude Denmark \and Dude Ethiopia \and Dude France}
If you now use \mbox{Dude Denmark}, the result is:

Is there an advantage of using mbox over a unbreakable space ~? An if yes what is it? –  bloodworks Apr 15 '12 at 12:00
@bloodworks: In this case I don't think so. \mbox will keep the entire box together, while an unbreakable space ~ might cause hyphenation in the names (thereby breaking the name yet again, just in a different place). –  Werner Apr 15 '12 at 14:24
Great, this works just fine. –  xiongtx Apr 15 '12 at 14:51
