Debian announcements

Debian Project Leader Anthony Towns has posted two Bits from the DPL messages. One looks forward to the etch release, next year's DebConf in Edinburgh, and beyond. The other looks around at Debian derivatives.

Andreas Barth has posted an etch release update. "Many of the long-standing bugs are either about license issues, some of which we hope to address with a General Resolution; or will be fixed with the removal of mozilla or the addition of X.org 7.1. This means that we are doing better now, but it is too early to relax. As long as we keep up the momentum of recent weeks, a December release is still in sight!"

The first call for votes is out on a General Resolution to clarify the scope and applicability of item 2 of the Debian free software guidelines.
