Thanks everyone for the feedback given in this thread. Based on it, I've prepared a new draft, which I hope could be consensual. If you have further comments, please consider joining patches to them, so that the feedback loop could be quicker (i.e. you wouldn't have to wait 2 days for me to come up with an alternative proposal that addresses your comments :-)). Note that there are also very technical points that anyone on this list could help with, e.g. the most appropriate image links. Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Status: [open-for-edit] # $Id: 20130319.wml 4717 2013-03-12 13:25:42Z madamezou $ # $Rev: 4717 $ # provisional title, suggestions welcome! <define-tag pagetitle>Debian <q>cloud</q> images now available</define-tag> <define-tag release_date>2013-03-19</define-tag> #use wml::debian::news ## Translators should uncomment the following line and add their name ## Leaving translation at 1.1 is okay; that's the first version which will ## be added to Debian's webwml repository ## # ← this one must be removed; not that one → #use wml::debian::translation-check translation="1.1" maintainer="" <p> As you may know, starting with the upcoming stable release <q>Wheezy</q>, Debian will <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120425";>make it easier for its users to deploy private <q>clouds</q></a>. <p> <p> In addition to that, we are glad to announce upcoming support for running Debian on public clouds.

If you want to help, or simply to know more about this effort, you can subscribe to the <a href="lists.debian.org/debian-cloud">debian-cloud mailing list</a> and contribute to its activities.

Since then the project has grown to be one of the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of volunteers from all over the world work together to create and maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the <q>universal operating system</q>. </p> <h2>Contact Information</h2> <p>For further information, please visit the Debian web pages at <a href="$(HOME)/">http://www.debian.org/</a> or send mail to <press@debian.org>.</p> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . zack@upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Debian Project Leader . . . . . . @zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »
