[ Please reply on -publicity list only <- FK: that’s especially for you,

Hi all,

We have just finished the last bits of the new issue of DPN
to be released Monday. We would appreciate reviews and translations.

Instructions are available on the wiki:

As usual, the last updated version is available on the publicity
Subversion repository, even via HTTP:

If you're willing to contribute to the redaction of the next issue,
don't hesitate, and join #debian-publicity IRC channel or send a message

Cheers,

David

<toc-add-entry name="sources">All Debian source are belong to us</toc-add-entry>
<p>
Stefano Zacchiroli
<a href="http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2013/07/introducing_sources.debian.net/";>introduced
a new service</a> allowing to browse and search among all the source code
provided in Debian packages:
<a href="http://sources.debian.net/";>sources.debian.net</a>.
</p>


<toc-add-entry name="delegations">Updating delegations</toc-add-entry>
<p>
Following his previous announcement about
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/06/msg00003.html";>revocation
of obsolete delegations</a>, Lucas Nussbaum started to update the
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/06/msg00004.html";>delegation
for the Policy Editors</a>, welcoming Jonathan Nieder in the team, and the
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/06/msg00005.html";>delegation 
for the summer of code administrators</a>, welcoming Sukhbir Singh officially
among them. More updates will follow.
</p>


<toc-add-entry name="trademark">Debian Trademark Team</toc-add-entry>
<p>
Although there has not been an official announcement or delegation yet, Lucas Nussbaum
stated that Debian does now have a 
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2013/06/msg00132.html";>proper
Trademark Team</a>.

Other than working through the backlog of use requests and Debian-related domain names,
the Trademark Team is currently working on getting the Debian logo registered in the U.S.A.
first and internationally afterwards.
</p>


<toc-add-entry name="jessie">Architectures supported in Jessie</toc-add-entry>
<p>
During their previous
<a href="$(HOME)/News/weekly/2013/13/#dsasprint">sprint</a>, the Debian System
Administrators (DSA) set a
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/06/msg00606.html";>list of
requirements</a> they consider necessary to support a port for the next stable
release. They listed some specific concerns for the following architectures:
armel, armhf, hurd, mips, mipsel, sparc, and s390/x; most of them are
currently being addressed, but porters may welcome some help for this support.
</p>
