Debian GNU/Linux

The Debian Weekly News for October 28, 2003 is available. This issue looks at a discussion by the XPde team on the legal implications of emulating aspects of proprietary desktop environments; Andreas Steinel announced a set of pictures that he took at OpenSaar and Linux-Kongress; an upcoming SPI Board election coming up; and more.

A Debian bug-squashing party is planned for Sunday November 9th 2003, in Ecublens, Switzerland. The GULL (Groupe romand des Utilisateurs de Linux et de Logiciels Libres) is organizing the effort that will be open to members and non-members.

Ian Murdock has posted this note to the debian-devel mailing list, with a status report from Progeny. Among other things, Progeny has ported Red Hat's Anaconda installer to Debian. "It is our hope that a distribution-independent Anaconda and a distribution-independent APT (plus, eventually, a distribution- independent configuration framework) will, along with a stronger LSB, help unify further the various Linux distributions."
