Debian GNU/Linux

The Debian Weekly News for December 3, 2002 is available. This week, read about the recent Bug Squashing Party for sarge in which several release critical bugs were fixed; and much more.

In last week's LWN we had no status report of the Debian services qa.debian.org and non-us.debian.org. In fact qa.debian.org was restored within hours after the fire. Non-us has also been restored.

Also last week's LWN was published too early to include Debian Weekly News for November 26, 2002. This issue looks at a study going on in Japan which asks the questions, "Is Free Software suited for governmental use? Can it replace the systems currently used?"

There is a new Debian User Worldmap showing the location of Debian developers around the world.

Translation of debconf templates is in progress. Here is a status report.

Branden Robinson discusses the GNU Free Documentation License, version 1.2 and its compatibility with the Debian Free Software Guidelines.

Actually, that's a map of Debian _users_. There is also a map of Debian developers which was started a few years ago available at http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc
