+ <title>Accomplishments</title>
+
+ <para>On review of our accomplishments over the week, it is nothing
+ short of impressive, this is a testament to the drive and work ethic
+ of the people involved. Not only did we accomplish a great many
+ technical feats, we also were able to organize our development work,
+ learn many of the techniques of the internals of Debian, network with
+ many developers, and develop the in-person social connections that
+ make working together over vast distances remotely possible. All of
+ this would have been extremely difficult if we were not together in
+ person, the social connections that were made are difficult to
+ document, but their worth cannot be overstated.</para>
+
+ <para>Most of what we were able to do, from making a specification
+ for a Server version of Debian-NP, to creating the installer modules,
+ to putting together our development environment, strategizing on
+ collaboration methods, to enhancing the CDD infrastructure,
+ significantly shape the future of Debian NP development.</para>

+    <title>Technical Accomplishments</title>
+
+    <para>During the week that Debian-NP was able to spend together in
+    Porto Alegre at Debconf4 we were able to accomplish a notable
+    amount of technical advancements. We arrived in Porto Alegre with
+    vague ideas, half-starts, and many divergences and reduplication
+    of effort. We left with a technical framework, including agreed
+    upon standards, a collaborative development environment and tools,
+    an awareness of the next steps and a singular unifying vision.</para>

+
+  <sect3>
+    <title>CDD Infrastructure adoption/improvements</title>
+    
+    <para>We were able to integrate the Debian-NP development into
+      the CDD framework, while at the same time enhancing the CDD
+      project overall. During the week we familiarized the whole group
+      with the CDD framework, and focused on integrating Debian-NP
+      into that framework while pushing out revisions and improvements
+      to the CDD group, including an enhanced CDD infrastructure
+      design. For a full detailed report on the CDD enhancements and
+      work that we were able to complete over the week, please see the
+      Appendix D: Customized Debian Distributions (CDD).</para>

+  <sect4>
+    <title>Installer success</title>
+    
+    <para>We made remarkable progress in the short period that we were
+    together in completing an installer for Debian-NP and the tools
+    needed to ease and enhance this work. Through our proximity to
+    Skolelinux developers, the Debian Installer developers and the
+    developers who have worked on an installer for Debian-BR we were
+    able to overcome technical hurdles easier. In the end we not only
+    created an installer for Debian-NP as well as a CD installer
+    framework but we were also able to improve the packages that aid
+    in the creation of installation CDs, so all groups who create CDDs
+    will benefit from our work. We are excited with the achievement of
+    a beta bootable Debian-NP CD that has an installer built-in, and
+    we now have the base to work with to improve in a modular fashion
+    the installer and the methods for creating a bootable installation
+    Debian-NP. Please see Appendix E: Debian-NP Installer for the full
+    details of our hard work.</para>
