Debian News

Next weekend Debian Developers and users from all over the world are organizing release parties. Do you want a release party in your city? Organize it and invite others! http://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartySqueeze

The release team announced Squeeze will be released the weekend of the 5th-6th of February.

Join us in the final countdown!

The banner was made by mvd based on Valessio’s theme Spacefun.You are welcome to link it from your website.

While you are waiting, you can also update your Lenny systems to 5.0.8.

The Debian Installer team has announced the Debian Installer 6.0 Release Candidate 1 release. Read about all the changes and improvements at their announcement.

Remember Squeeze will ship with a completely free Linux Kernel, although if you require use of the non-free bits you can keep fetching them from non-free. Non-free is not part of the Debian default installation and must be enabled manually.

Your help is welcome:

• With any of the bugs at http://tinyurl.com/squeeze-sort, especially with the bugs marked as blocked.
• With the release notes, report a bug to release-notes (with patch!) if you see any information missing or incomplete or if you have something worthwhile to add.
• Translating the release notes with the Debian internationalization teams.
• And you are still on time to do upgrade and installation tests and report any big issue you may encounter.
