[please reply on -publicity mailing list] Hi all, with the help of Martin Zobel-Helas, we just finalised a press release about an important donation made by Eaton to the Debian project. The announcement is to be published next Thursday (21th): I'd really appreciate reviews and translations. You can find it attached to this mail.

Eaton's donation gives us this capability, significantly improving our ability to operate our infrastructure efficiently and effectively, without having to disturb the staff of our hosting partners. We are very appreciative of this generous donation,</q> said Martin Zobel-Helas, member of the Debian System Administration team. </p> <h2>About Debian</h2> <p> The Debian Project is an association of Free Software developers who volunteer their time and effort in order to produce a completely free operating system known as Debian. </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>
