More Debian Announcements
This is a cunning plot to increase interest in Quality Assurance among Debian contributors. There will be a QA Hacking event preceding Debconf5 in Helsinki."
Another update of Debian 3.0 (woody) is
underway. "The plan is to release this revision roughly two months
after the last update. However, it may be required that this happens
before the release of sarge or it won't happen at all. It may be the last
update if no updates to 3.0 are possible after sarge has been
released.

Here's the April 1st edition of Bits from the
DAMs (& Co). "While having a very s3kr1t Cabal[2]-Meeting a
bit ago, we decided that Debian doesn't work anymore the way it is running
right now. We gave you a chance to actually proove we are wrong with this
conclusion, but the huge flamewars following our testmail showed that we
are right. So we decided to have a clean restart with a small team[3] and
as such are deleting every account[4] somewhere around this evening
(UTC).

The third and final call for votes went
out, for the DPL election. "At the time of writing, half an hour
into the third (and final) week of the vote, we are still at a low ebb for
voter participation, though not by a huge margin. I do note, though, that
more people have gone back and re-cast their ballot this year than
previously, lending some credence to the theory that this year people are
just taking longer to muddle through deciding on their ballot.
