to DPL candidates: How do you plan to represent Debian externally?

I'd ask the DPL candidates to speak a bit about how they intend to
represent Debian externally -- both in terms out downstream outreach, as
well as upstream (or even side-stream) relations.

What sort of plans do you have to collaborate with other F/OSS
communities? Other distros?

Realtedly, what sort of messaging (on this topic) can we expect
from the future DPL?
