+<p>Welcome to this year's 16th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
+community. Topics covered in this issue include:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><q>Etch-and-a-half</q> installation images updated</li>
+  <li>GNU Affero General Public License suitable for Debian <q>main</q></li>
+  <li>Security Teams Meeting in Essen</li>
+  <li>... and much more.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p><strong>Etch-and-a-half installation images updated</strong></p>
+
+<p>As a result of the release of the first release candidate for Lenny of
+Debian Installer (D-I RC1) on November 12th, the installer images for
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/etchnhalf">Etch-and-a-half</a> have
+also been updated. A consequence of this update is that during installation of
+Etch-and-a-half using the currently available images, a newer kernel version
+(2.6.26) will be used. However, the kernel used for the installed system
+remains unchanged at version 2.6.24. In some cases this can mean that hardware
+which is supported during the installation does not work after the reboot into
+the installed system because support for it was added after the 2.6.24
+version.</p>
+
+<p>Old Etch-and-a-half businesscard and netinst CD images remain usable.  Old
+netboot images are no longer usable and will need to be replaced with a current
+image. The
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf">Etch-and-a-half
+Debian Installer web page</a> has links to the new images and to the release
+announcements which give an overview of changes in the installation system. The
+Debian Installer team is currently preparing the second release candidate (RC2)
+of the Lenny installer, which will again result in an update of the installer
+images for Etch-and-a-half. The kernel version used during installation will
+remain at 2.6.26.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>GNU Affero General Public License suitable for Debian "main"</strong></p>
+
+<p>Jörg Jaspert, representing the FTP Archives team, has released a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2008/11/msg00097.html">position
+statement</a> about the inclusion in main of works licensed under
+<a href="http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/agpl-3.0.html">GNU Affero General
+Public License version 3</a> (AGPLv3). In short, the statement says that such
+works are suitable for Debian/main, even though the AGPL has an additional
+clause when compared to the <a href="http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-3.0.html">GNU General Public
+License</a> (GPLv3). The clause in question requires software to offer the
+source code to a user when interacting with it remotely through a computer
+network.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Security Teams Meeting in Essen</strong></p>
+
+<p>Martin <q>Joey</q> Schulze <a href="http://www.infodrom.org/~joey/log/?200811301247">reports</a> on the
+Debian Security meeting which took place 28-30 November 2008 in Essen, Germany.
+Members of both the stable and the testing security teams attended as did the
+developers who are currently working on security updates for the backports
+archive.</p>
+
+<p>The attendees discussed issues with regard to future security work in the
+Debian project and for the Debian distribution. Specific topics were
+cooperation between the different teams (both in terms of work as well as in
+terms of archive management), as well as long term support for Debian GNU/Linux
+installations which cannot support an upgrade every two years (such as large
+clusters of Debian GNU/Linux systems). Notes taken during the meeting will be
+sent to the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce">debian-devel-announce
+mailing list</a> and summarized in the <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/project/">Debian Project News</a>.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>New Stable SuiteTelecentro 2.0</strong></p>
+
+<p>The new stable version of <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/suitetelecentro">SuiteTelecentro</a> is now 
+available for download from Sourceforge. SuiteTelecentro is a customisation of Debian and is built at the Free Software 
+Laboratory of the IT Board of Banco do Brasil, the largest and oldest public bank in Brazil.</p>
+
+<p>As <a href="http://times.debian.net/?category=success-stories#1242">already
+covered</a> at <a href="http://times.debian.net">Debian Times</a>,
+SuiteTelecentro is a GNU/Linux solution which allows the use of low performance
+CPU and memory computers as affordable thin clients at telecentres for the
+poor. Over 4 million users now have affordable access to an Internet enabled
+computer thanks to this Free Software project.</p>
+
+<p>SuiteTelecentro is based on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch) and LTSP 4.2. The new 2.0 version features 
+easy installation, uses the GNOME graphical environment and includes: the OpenOffice.org suite, MySQL, 
+PHP, Apache, MediaWiki and the Ocara telecentre management software.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Dependency based boot sequencing release goal completed</strong></p>
+
+<p>Petter Reinholdtsen <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/11/msg00007.html">announced</a>
+that the release goal of supporting a dependency based boot sequence has been
+completed.  This allows system services to be started in an order which is
+calculated from their dependencies on each other instead of a hardcoded order.</p>
+
+<p>He adds that 99.8% of all packages in unstable now have the necessary
+dependency information, with only 2 packages missing them. However, more
+testers are needed to identify problems with currently untested combinations of
+packages.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Debian bugs #600000 and #1000000 contest</strong></p>
+
+<p>Christian Perrier announced that as the <a
+href="http://bugs.debian.org/500000">bug #500000</a> mark was turned on
+September 24th 2008, Debian developers and contributors need a new challenge.
+So a small contest has been set up again. The principle is very simple:
+Participants should place a bet (one per person) about the day bugs #600000 and
+#1000000 will be reported. The winners will be the persons placing their bets
+as close as possible to the real moment bugs #600000 and #1000000 are
+reported.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/600000thBugContest">bet page</a> is
+hosted in the Debian wiki. It will be closed on December 31st, 2008. Bets will
+be kept statically until bug #600000 is reported. Then the page will be
+reopened with a new list of bets for bug #1000000.  Thus, there will be four
+sets of bets for bug #1000000 with even more suspense and fun.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Inter-distribution collaboration for maintaining games</strong></p>
+
+<p>Initiated by members of the merged Debian and Ubuntu games teams and Hans de
+Goede from Fedora, a <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/games">mailing list</a>
+<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/games/2008-November/000006.html">was
+created</a> to foster collaboration between operating systems for the
+maintenance of games.  The goal is to share and review patches that the
+upstream project is slow or unwilling to accept, or to take over as the new
+upstream for software in cases where the original upstream has died.</p>
+
+<p>At this time, members of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Fink, FreeBSD, Gentoo,
+NetBSD, OpenSolaris, PC-BSD, Slackbuilds, SUSE and Yellow Dog Linux are on this
+list as well as GNOME and KDE members.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Call for talks for the Debian Developers' room at FOSDEM</strong></p>
+
+<p>Wouter Verhelst <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00000.html">called
+for talks</a> for the Debian Developers' room at the upcoming Free and Open
+Source Developers European Meeting (FOSDEM): a yearly community meeting that
+takes place at the université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium and which
+concentrates on bringing developers of Free Software together. As during
+previous events, Debian has the opportunity to hold its own one and a half day
+conference sub-track.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>When to do non-maintainer uploads?</strong></p>
+
+<p>A recent non-maintainer upload of the
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/php5">php5 package</a> caused
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00643.html">some
+discussion</a> about how and when non-maintainer uploads should be done.  While
+fixing release critical bugs is indeed a very important topic (especially for
+long standing bugs without action from the maintainer), release team member
+Steve Langasek
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00666.html">reminded</a>
+that developers should still inform the maintainers about any plans to perform
+a NMU, while Thomas Viehmann
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00012.html">reminded
+maintainers</a> that they should fix, or at least comment on, release critical
+bugs within two weeks.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Popular packages in Ubuntu that are not in Debian <q>main</q></strong></p>
+
+<p>Petter Reinholdtsen did a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00659.html">survey</a> on
+the question of which popular Ubuntu packages are not included in Debian/main
+and why. In order to determine the packages' popularity, Petter used their
+popcon ratings. He ended up with a list of 152 popular Ubuntu packages which
+are currently not in Debian/main, a number he considered surprisingly low.</p>
+
+<p>Many of tning  packages many are multimedia related. Petter thinks it would
+be very nice to have these packages available in Debian and wants to encourage
+their packaging.</p>
+
+<p>In related news James Westby did a
+<a href="http://jameswestby.net/weblog/ubuntu/04-revu.html">survey</a> on the
+quality of the Ubuntu packages which are not included in Debian using their
+records in the Ubuntu bug tracking system.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Developer News wanted</strong></p>
+
+<p>Raphael Hertzog, the author of the Misc Developer News
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00014.html">asks</a>
+developers to (regularly)
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews">share</a> short news about their
+work and plans so they can be published in the Misc Developer News.  Possible
+news covers everything which is related to Debian development and not worth a
+dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. The news is published whenever five
+news stories have come together. Raphael points out that the Misc Developer
+News can also be used to post calls for help.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Need for an unofficial public community repository?</strong></p>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00641.html">rejection</a>
+from the queue for some new packages to be added to Debian by the ftp-masters
+caused some discussion about the need of a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00603.html">repository for</a>
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00607.html">unofficial
+packages</a> not meeting Debian's standards or being otherwise unsupported.
+Holger Levsen <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00604.html">pointed</a>
+to <a href="http://debian-unofficial.org">debian-unofficial.org</a>, which
+isn't <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00605.html">flawless</a>.
+This caused Holger to think about a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00606.html">solution</a>
+inside of <a href="http://debian-community.org">debian-community.org</a>.  The
+proposal to <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00612.html">use</a> <a
+href="http://apt-get.org">apt-get.org</a> has been
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/11/msg00633.html">criticised</a>
+as well.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>New maintainer</strong></p>
+
+<p>One applicant has been
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2008/11/msg00071.html">accepted</a>
+as Debian Maintainer since the prior issue of the Debian Project News.  Please
+welcome Jörg Sommer into our project!</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Bits from the buildd world</strong></p>
+
+<p>Adeodato Simó sent
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/11/msg00006.html">bits
+from buildd world</a>.  Buildds are a part of Debian's infrastructure,
+organising which automated build system (build daemon) is building which
+package for which architecture. Beside some personnel changes, he also explains
+the proper ways to contact the buildd team, as well as where the source code of
+the buildd infrastructure is maintained.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Release cricital bug stats for the upcoming release</strong></p>
+
+<p>According to the <a href="http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php">unofficial
+RC-bugs count</a>, the upcoming release Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q> is
+currently affected by 118 release critical bugs.  43 of them have already been
+fixed in Debian's <q>unstable</q> branch. Of the remaining 75 release critical
+bugs, 33 already have a patch (which might need testing) and 5 are marked as
+pending.</p>
+
+<p>Ignoring these bugs as well as release critical bugs for packages in contrib
+or non-free, 36 release critical bugs remain to be solved for the release to
+happen.</p>
+
+
+<p><strong>Important Debian Security Advisories</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian's Security Team recently released advisories for these packages (among others):
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1667">python2.4</a>,
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1669">xulrunner</a>,
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1671">iceweasel</a>,
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1673">wireshark</a> and
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1675">phpmyadmin</a>.
+Please read them carefully and take the proper measures.</p>
+
+<p>Please note that these are only a selection of the more important security
+advisories of the last two weeks. If you need to be kept up to date about
+security advisories released by the Debian Security Team, please subscribe to
+the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/">security
