+
+What happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds) effort between Sunday January 22 and Saturday January 28 2017:
+
+
+Media coverage
+--------------
+
+- [The Reproducible Build Zoo](https://openiotelcna2017.sched.com/event/9Iu4/the-reproducible-build-zoo-vagrant-cascadian-aikidev-llc) was presented by Vagrant Cascadian at the Embedded Linux Conference in Portland, Oregon on February 22nd.
+
+- Dennis Gilmore and Holger Levsen presented "Reproducible Builds and Fedora" at [Devconf.cz](https://devconf.cz/) on February 27th.
+
+
+Upcoming Events
+---------------
+
+- [Introduction to Reproducible Builds](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/introduction-reproducible-builds) will be presented by Vagrant Cascadian at Scale15x in Pasadena, California, March 5th.
+
+- Verifying Software Freedom with Reproducible Builds will be presented by Vagrant Cascadian at [Libreplanet2017](https://www.libreplanet.org/2017/) in Boston, March 25th-26th.
+
+
+Reproducible work in other projects
+-----------------------------------
+
+John Gilmore [wrote an interesting mail about how Cygnus.com worked on reproducible builds in the early 1990s](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-January/000309.html). It's eye opening to see how the dealt with basically the very same problems we're dealing with today, how they solved them and then to realize that most of this has been forgotten and bit-rotted in the last 20 years. How will we prevent history repeating itself here?

+Toolchain development and fixes
-------------------------------
-John Gilmore wrote an interesting mail about how cygnus.com worked on reproducible builds, as in bit-by-bit identical ones, in the [early 1990s](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2017-January/000309.html). It's eye opening to see how the dealt with basically the very same problems we're dealing with today, how they solved them and then to realize, that most of this has been forgotten and bit-rotted in the last 20 years. How will we prevent history repeating itself here?
+Christoph Biedl [wrote a mail describing an interesting problem in to the way binNMUs are done in Debian](https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/1485611066@msgid.manchmal.in-ulm.de).

+
+Packages reviewed and fixed, and bugs filed
+-------------------------------------------

+* [[!bug 853039]] filed against [[!pkg fontypython]].

+Dhole:
-tests.r-b.o:
- - h01ger experimented with reusing ssh control connections, but stopped that experiment when we ran into more network issues than before. To be continued, as we'll have several 10k ssh connections per day and saving 2 seconds each time would sum up, especially on the jenkins host itself.
- - h01ger made the scheduler run 3 times a day, 2.5h after dinstall runs, instead of every 3h before.
- - h01ger restructured the [https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_breakages.html](breakages page) and improve the corresponding job.
- - h01ger also unblacklisted [[!pkg xmds2]], [[!pkg sofia-sip]] and [[!pkg ck]] - if you think other packages should be unblacklisted (maybe only on some architectures), please do tell us.
+* [[!bug 852289]] filed against [[!pkg python-passlib]].
