Debian GNU/Linux

The Debian Weekly News for March 23, 2004 is out. This week you'll find a pointer to an article from Novell on how to switch from Debian to SUSE; reports from FOSDEM; an update on MPlayer licensing problems; and much more.

The results of the Debian Project vote on the future of the non-free part of the distribution are in: non-free will continue to exist. At least until the issue comes up yet again in a couple of years...

A Bug Squashing Party will be happening this weekend, March 26 - 28. This is a good chance to get involved with Debian and to help the sarge release, so join in and squish a bug or two..

Now that the non-free issue is out of the way, it's to move on to the next general resolution, proposed amendments to the Debian Social Contract. The discussion period is scheduled to begin on March 28.
