[PATCH 0/2] Docs/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series

[SeongJae Park]

There is a mailing tool that developed and maintained by DAMON
maintainer aiming to support DAMON community.  Also there are DAMON
community meetup series.  Both are known to have rooms of improvements
in terms of their visibility.  Document those on the maintainer's
profile document.

[PATCH 1/2] Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: introduce HacKerMaiL

[SeongJae Park]

Since DAMON has merged into the mainline, I periodically received some
questions around DAMON's mailing lists based workflow.  The workflow is
not different from the normal ones that well documented, but it is also
true that it is not always easy and familiar for everyone.

I personally overcame it by developing and using a simple tool, named
HacKerMaiL (hkml)[1].  Based on my experience, I believe it is matured
enough to be used for simple workflows like that of DAMON.  Actually
some DAMON contributors and Linux kernel developers other than myself
told me they are using the tool.

As DAMON maintainer, I also believe helping new DAMON community members
onboarding to the worklow is one of the most important parts of my
responsibilities.  For the reason, the tool is announced[2] to support
DAMON community.  To further increasing the visibility of the fact,
document the tool and the support plan on DAMON maintainer's profile.

Thank you so much.  I will send a new version tomorrow with fixes for these.

[PATCH 2/2] Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: document DAMON community meetups

[SeongJae Park]

DAMON bi-weekly community meetup series has continued since 2022-08-15
for community members who prefer synchronous chat over asynchronous
mails.  Recently I got some feedbacks about the series from a few
people.  They told me the series is helpful for understanding of the
project and particiapting to the development, but it could be further
better in terms of the visibility.  Based on that, I started sending
meeting reminder for every occurrence.  For people who don't subscribe
the mailing list, however, adding an announcement on the official
document could be helpful.  Document the series on DAMON maintainer's
profile for the purpose.

+Community meetup
+----------------
+
+DAMON community is maintaining two bi-weekly meetup series for community
+members who prefer synchronous conversations over mails.
+
+The first one is for any discussion between every community member.  No
+reservation is needed.
+
+The seconds one is for discussions on specific topics between restricted

+Schedules and available reservation time slots are available at the Google doc
+[9]_ .  DAMON maintainer will also provide periodic reminder to the mailing
+list (damon@lists.linux.dev).
