Debian Project News - October 8th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to this year's 12th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
community.
Some of the topics covered in this issue include:

 * Bits from the DPL
 * What you can do for Lenny
 * 500,000th bug reported
 * ... and much more.

Bits from the DPL

Steve McIntyre sent out another [1]"Bits from the DPL" mail. His first
topic was the recently finished eighth Debian Conference in Argentina.
Even though many developers and contributors could not travel there he
considered it to be a successful conference. He especially thanked the
video team, who "did an [2]amazing job this year making most of the
sessions available via stream as well as forwarding questions via
Internet Relay Chat." Steve is already looking forward to next year's
Debian Conference, which will take place in the Junta Extremadura in
Spain.

Welcome to this year's 12th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
community.
Some of the topics covered in this issue include:
 * Bits from the Debian CD team
 * Debian, software patents and archive layout
 * Statistics about packages.debian.org usage

Bits from the Debian CD team

Steve McIntyre posted some [1]bits from the Debian CD team. With the
upcoming release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny", Blu-ray Disc images
will be available as well as CD and DVD images. For the first time in
several years, users should be able to fit all of the packages for one
architecture on a single disc. But due to the increased size of the
Debian archive and considerations of storage and network bandwidth
(especially on our mirrors) only a limited number of versions of each
image will be available for direct download on our mirrors.

All images will be available via Jigdo (a tool which creates images by
downloading individual .deb files and assembling them into one .iso
file), and most images for the popular architectures will be available
as torrents, too.
