+<p>Welcome to this year's 1st issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
+community. This issue is dedicated to
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2008/20081229">Thiemo Seufer</a>, who died on 26
+December 2008 in a tragic car accident.</p>
+
+<p>Topics covered in this issue include:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Bits from the Debian CD team</li>
+ <li>Bits from the Debian Installer team</li>
+ <li>Results from the <q>Lenny release GR</q></li>
+</ul>

+<h2>Bits from the Debian CD team</h2>
+
+<p>Frans Pop sent <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/01/msg00002.html">Bits from the Debian CD team</a>,
+summarizing various changes affecting the installation media for the
+upcoming release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q>.<br /><br />
+The most notable change is the replacement of the Xfce installation disc
+with a "light desktop" installation disc for installing Xfce or
+LXDE. Furthermore, all four major desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, Xfce
+and LXDE) are directly installable from the first DVD image; the desktop
+environment to be installed can now be chosen via the boot menu.</p>
+
+<p>The Debian CD team still plans to create the following images:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Architecture-specific images:
+ <ul>
+ <li>businesscard CD</li>
+ <li>network install (netinst) CD</li>
+ <li>full CD (650 MB) images - users can now choose between:
+ <ul>
+ <li>standard CD set, which will by default install GNOME</li>
+ <li>special KDE CD</li>
+ <li>special light desktop environments CD (LXDE + Xfce)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>DVD set</li>
+ <li>Blu-ray image (only as jigdo files for i386, amd64 and
+source)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Multi-architecture images:
+ <ul>
+ <li>alpha/hppa/ia64 network install CD</li>
+ <li>i386/amd64/powerpc network install CD</li>
+ <li>i386/amd64 DVD; also includes source packages</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ul>

+<h2>Bits from the Debian Installer team</h2>
+
+<p>Christian Perrier <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00013.html">sent</a>
+bits from the Debian Installer team. With the upcoming release of Debian
+GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q> in mind, he summarized the improvements made during
+this release cycle, including (but not limited to) support for loading
+firmware during installation, SATA RAID support, early upgrade of
+packages for security fixes, support for <q>volatile</q>, a new boot menu for
+i386/amd64, and support for installation from Windows through
+win32-loader.</p>
+
+<p>He also mentioned that the next release candidate version is intended to
+be the version used in the Lenny official release. This version will fix
+a few bugs discovered in Release Candidate 1 (RC1) and a few more which
+were listed in RC1 errata. The team intends to begin the final release
+process of Debian Installer RC2 in the very early days of January
+2009.</p>
+
+<p>He also stresses the need for new blood to join the Debian Installer team
+after Lenny has been released, since out of the 180 people with commit
+access only three have been active in the coordination list and IRC
+channel during the last three months.</p>
+
+
+<a name="3" />
+<h2>Results from the <q>Lenny release GR</q></h2>
+
+<p>Bdale Garbee <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/01/msg00000.html">posted</a> the results of the <a
+href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2008/vote_003"><q>Lenny release GR</q></a>, a
+general resolution about the handling of firmware issues and similar bugs
+affecting Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q>.</p>
+
+<p>From all the proposed options, the one titled <q>Assume blobs comply with
+GPL unless proven otherwise</q> won. With this outcome, the Debian project
+now assumes that "source less" firmware (rather small programs that
+internally control various electronic devices, see
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware">Wikipedias Page about
+Firmware</a>) has been created the way it is
+(without a source in a higher level programming language) and therefore
+fullfils the requirements of the GNU General Public License. </p>

+<h2>New maintainer for search.debian.org needed</h2>
+
+<p><a href="mailto:tv at beamnet.de">Thomas Viehmann</a> is
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2009/01/msg00024.html">seeking</a>
+a new maintainer for <a href="http://search.debian.org">search.debian.org</a>.
+The search engine is a slightly patched xapian-omega instance. You should
+be a Debian Developer or be willing to be part of a team for access to
+the installation. Some more improvements to the language support are
+desirable, which involve some C++, but Thomas would try to help out
+there.</p>
+
+
+<a name="5" />
+<h2>Security support for next testing (Squeeze)</h2>
+
+<p>The Testing Security Team
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-security-announce/2008/12/msg00019.html">announced</a>
+that security support for the next Debian testing
+(codenamed <q>Squeeze</q>) will not begin immediately after the release of
+Lenny as stable. Users of Debian testing who need security support should
+stay with Lenny until the beginning of security support for Squeeze is
+announced.</p>
+
+
+<a name="6" />
+<h2>Internationalization support for planet.debian.org</h2>
+
+<p>Jörg Jaspert <a
+href="http://blog.ganneff.de/blog/2008/12/21/planet-i18n.html">announced</a>
+that <a href="http://planet.debian.org">planet.debian.org</a>, a service
+collecting the personal blogs of various Debian Developers, Maintainers
+and other Debian-associated people, is now capable of hosting web pages
+and RSS/Atom-feeds in different languages, as demonstrated by the <a
+href="http://planet.debian.org/es/">Spanish Planet Debian</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Adding a new language is quite simple but requires at least ten feeds to
+be added for the newly created language.</p>
+
+
+<a name="7" />
+<h2>Personnel change of the Debian Secretary</h2>
+
+<p>Due to criticism while conducting the recent <q>Lenny release GR</q> vote,
+Manoj Srivastava, long term secretary of the Debian Project, decided to
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00765.html">resign</a>
+from this position. Following his resignation many developers
+have thanked him for his work.</p>
+
+<p>Debian Project Leader Steve McIntyre is now
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00011.html">searching</a>

+current Chairman of the Technical Committee, is now

+as Acting Secretary</a>.</p>
+
+
+<a name="8" />
+<h2>Personnel changes in Debian's Technical Committee</h2>
+
+<p>After being member of Debian's Technical Committee for three years,
+Anthony Towns
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2009/01/msg00006.html">resigned</a>
+from that position to get fresh blood into the committee.
+We would like to thank Anthony for the work he has done over the past
+years.</p>
+
+<p>Bdale Garbee, current chair of the Technical Committee,
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/01/msg00003.html">announced</a>
+that Russ Allbery and Don Armstrong have been added to the
+technical committee. Please join us in congratulating them on achieving
+this level of recognition and trust within our community.</p>
+
+
+<a name="9" />
+<h2>Personnel changes in the New Maintainer front desk</h2>
+
+<p>Christoph Berg
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00010.html">announced</a>
+some personnel changes in the New Maintainer front desk,
+handling applications of people interested in becoming Debian Developers.
+Marc Brockschmidt, who has been a member since 2005, has resigned from
+this position, while Bernd Zeimetz has joined the team.</p>
+
+<p>We would like to thank Marc for his long term dedication.</p>

+<h2>Release-critical bugs statistics for the upcoming release</h2>
+
+<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 99 release critical bugs. 26 of them
+have already been fixed in Debian's <q>unstable</q> branch. Of the remaining
+73 release critical bugs, 15 already have a patch (which might need
+testing) and 12 are marked as pending.</p>
+
+<p>Ignoring these bugs as well as release critical bugs for packages in
+contrib or non-free, 49 release critical bugs remain to be solved for the
+release to happen.</p>
