Hi, I'm sure you've seen the preliminary Jessie release date announcement on https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/03/msg00016.html which I'm quoting here partly for those who haven't: On Dienstag, 31. März 2015, Niels Thykier wrote: > Jessie Release > ============== > > We now have a target release date of Saturday the 25th of April.

Which made me think: - we should release Debian Edu 8 Jessie Beta1 on the 25th of April 2015, together with the release of Debian Edu 8. - we should aim to release Debian Edu 8 Jessie whenever Debian Jessie 8.1 is released, providing this date is suitable to us and we're confident of our release, of course! (A week later so we can base our final images on 8.1) - are we (Debian Edu) up to this challenge? There's actually not that much to do, it's mostly testing images + updates, reporting back and writing up the release announcement, plus some last minute translations to the manual... I think we can (+should!) do it! I plan to go through the (few) changes (as per BTS) for debian-edu(|-install|- config) and debian-edu-doc and will followup with uploads and unblock requests shortly. An upload of debian-edu-doc should happen on the 13th or 14th of April, please try to update your Jessie manual translations til then. If you know of any issues affecting Debian Edu jessie, please update https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie Thanks for reading this far & for your contributions to Debian Edu! cheers, Holger
