Encouraging small contributions in Debian talks

I’m in Merida for the QA meeting, and the Spanish speaking people here (Ana and me), plus Holger, were asked by the organization to give a talk in the University.

During Q&A after the talk, one teacher mentioned that, after having received several talks about Debian by various people, she was a bit disappointed that they all resulted so DD-centric, as if all that could matter was becoming an official Developer.

I promised her that in future talks I would make very explicit that even the smallest contributions are welcome in Debian, be them bug reports of a tiny patch, and that I would blog encouraging other speakers to do the same, if they’re not doing it already.
