Debian News

For more than 11 years now, FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) lived happily at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai. Now that it’s grown up, it finally deserves its own home at http://fai-project.org. This also means less typing for all of FAI’s friends.

Along with the new web home also its sister, the wiki, has moved from http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de to http://wiki.fai-project.org

Other parts of the family, such as the mailing lists, stay at their place. If you are a friend with FAI, however, you might need to update your sources.list. If your sources.list configuration includes something like:

  deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download lenny koeln

please change it to the new URL accordingly, like:

  deb http://fai-project.org/download lenny koeln

The old URL’s will still work, but we suggest to update to the new ones. If you have links on your web page to the FAI project, please update the links to the new location and also update your address book (aka bookmarks) accordingly.

FAI would like to thank its parents at the University of Cologne for hosting and continuing support. The new home is still provided by the University of Cologne.

The next 4th of September, the Portuguese Debian community will gather at the University of Aveiro for the third edition of the DebianDayPT

There will be several talks about about Debian/Free Software in Portuguese and as special guest, Martin Michlmayr will deliver a couple of talks titled “Contributing to Debian” and “Project Management in Free Software”. Like last year, there will be DVDs with Debian Live so people can discover, try and install upcoming Debian stable ‘Squeeze‘.

You can find more information of the event and information of how to arrive at: http://debiandaypt.debianpt.org/.
