<p>More details about foo.</p> |
<p>Release Manager Neil McGovern <a |
| 89 |
|
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110118193635.GC4061@halon.org.uk">announced the release date of Debian 6.0 |
| 90 |
|
<q>Squeeze</q></a>: On the very next weekend, the weekend of the 5th and |
| 91 |
|
6th February Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> will finally be realed as a stable |
| 92 |
|
release! Final work towards has began, inlcuding preparation for <a |

| 94 |
|
over the world!</p> |

<p>For those of the community waiting impatiently for the release, <a |

<h2>Join the DebConf team</h2> |
| 106 |
|
<p><a href="http://www.debconf.org/">DebConf</a> is a yearly conference for the Debian community. Like |
| 107 |
|
everything else in Debian, DebConf is run completely by volunteers. Organizing |
| 108 |
|
a conference is a lot of work as you might imagine, so it is no surprise that |
| 109 |
|
the DebConf team is eager to have people help out. As Richard Darst <a |
| 110 |
|
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/01/msg00004.html">writes</a>:</p> |
| 111 |
|
<q>DebConf is a huge process, and there are many things we could use help |
| 112 |
|
on. People come and go, and are usually overworked after a year or |
| 113 |
|
two — so we would love new people to get involved. If you have new |
| 114 |
|
ideas, we'd love to hear about them and we can discuss if they'd work |
| 115 |
|
and how to make them happen. And by the way, if you are looking for a |
| 116 |
|
good way to get involved with Debian and don't know where to start, |
| 117 |
|
this might be among the best options!</q></p> |

<h2>Bits from the Security Team</h2> |

|
|
| 123 |
|
<p> |
| 124 |
|
Thijs Kinkhorst sent some <a |
| 125 |
|
href="http://lists.debian.org/201101232332.11736.thijs@debian.org">bits from |
| 126 |
|
the Debian Security Team</a> reporting about the group's meeting at the <a href="http://www.linuxhotel.de/">Linux |
| 127 |
|
Hotel</a> in Essen, Germany. Among the things they discussed was various |
| 128 |
|
improvements to the team workflow, particularly regarding therelease |
| 129 |
|
process of Debian Security Advisories - redesigned from the ground up; a longer security support for Debian |
| 130 |
|
stable - still a proposal - and backports security support. The report also |
| 131 |
|
mentions various other interesting topics as <q>Beta testing</q> of security |
| 132 |
|
updates, a README.test file to include into packages to explain how its |
| 133 |
|
functionality can be tested, and the problem of some specific packages which |
| 134 |
|
are difficult to handled because of they include a lot of source packages. |
| 135 |
|
The mail ends with a call for volunteers. More details can be read on the |

for sponsors of Debian mirrors</a>. An interesting part of it was his |
| 144 |
|
request for help to provide more official mirrors of the security archive. |
| 145 |
|
He's especially interested in new official mirrors in South America, Asia |
| 146 |

and Africa.</p> |

<h2>Bits from Debian GIS</h2> |
| 187 |
|
<p>The mailing list for general discussion of GIS issues in Debian |
| 188 |
|
was moved from Alioth to <a |
| 189 |
|
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/">lists.debian.org</a>. |
| 190 |
|
As usual at <tt>lists.debian.org</tt> is open also for non-subscribers, has |
| 191 |
|
a more generic name and hopefully can attract more GIS users and |
| 192 |
|
developers in Debian to discuss relevant issues.</p> |
| 193 |
|
<p>The Debian GIS Blend has defined a new task <q>SAR and earth |
| 194 |
|
observation</q> |
| 195 |
|
at their <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks">tasks page</a> |
| 196 |
|
which contains a list of not yet official packages which are potential |
| 197 |
|
targets for inclusion into Debian. Feel free to discuss this task or |
| 198 |
|
other ideas you might have about the GIS relevant packages on the |
| 199 |
|
mailing list mentioned above.</p> |
| 200 |
|
<p>Please note that Debian GIS also maintains OpenStreetMap-related |
| 201 |
|
packages, together with the Debian OpenStreetMap Team |

his partecipation at the <a |
| 248 |
|
href="http://distributions.freedesktop.org/wiki/Meetings/AppInstaller2011">Cross-distro |
| 249 |
|
Meeting on Application Installer</a>. |
| 250 |
|
The meeting, organised by Vincent Untz, was focused on metadata (both from |
| 251 |
|
packages and users) and how to share them between distributions or, at least, |
| 252 |
|
how to define some standards for these metadata. Enrico has presented <a |
| 253 |
|
href="http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/">Debtags</a> and <a |
| 254 |
|
href="http://www.enricozini.org/sw/apt-xapian-index/">apt-xapian-index</a>, |
| 255 |
|
two of the most powerful tools for handle package metadata in Debian. As |
| 256 |
|
a result of the meeting, there's now the intent of match package names |
| 257 |
|
across distributions. |
