<h2>General resolution about Debian project membership</h2>
<p>After Debian Project Leader Stefano Zacchiroli proposed a general
resolution about <a href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2010/vote_002";>non-packaging Debian
project members</a>, this resolution is currently being
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/20101004194749.GS4622@halon.org.uk";>voted
on</a>. If it passes it would invite Debian's Account Managers to
establish procedures to evaluate and accept non-packaging contributors to
the project including full voting rights. Non-packaging contributors
include for example documentation writers and translators.</p>
<p>In related news, Enrico Zini from the New Maintainer Front Desk sent a <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20101013074217.GA8889@enricozini.org";><q>bits
from</q> mail</a>. He welcomed Xavier Oswald as full member of the
Front Desk and noted that applicants to become Debian Developers will need
stronger GPG keys from now on. Following the recent <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20100914051848.GH22220@gwolf.org";>bits from the keyring
maintainers</a>, the use of 1024 bit DSA keys is discouraged.</p>
