Advent calendar
Hi,
in order to keep an old tradition, I want to remind everybody of our
combined efforts to take care of some poor souls at this time of the
year.
As the years before we should think of all those, that are not around
with their own kind. Again, during the last few months, lots of volunteers
all around the world tracked down those poor souls and put their cases in
the database. We should take care of those needy. This year, there are
about 190 cases which are relevant to Debian Med[1] (17 being serious[2]).
So please feel pity for them and allow the transition of as many as
possible poor souls to their final destination, the retirement community
in the Archive. Last year we helped about 27 of them, I am sure this year
we can do better.
Furthermore I would like to mention another page[3] with lots of information
about Debian Med packages. Besides the list of RC bugs you can also see
packages that can not be built on a Debian architecture, packages that are
not allowed to migrate from unstable to testing (and thus won't be
included in the next release) and packages with a new upstream version. I
think those packages need some care as well.
As soon as I get the notice of a closed case I will record that in our
Advent calendar[4]. In contrast to normal calendars, let us fill this
special one with lots of good deeds. Maybe we can hide at least one number
of a closed case behind every door.
Good hunting,
Thorsten
PS. The fun starts not until December 1st :-).
