news.debian.net launches

[Posted August 3, 2009 by corbet]

The announcement has gone out for a new Debian-oriented news service located at news.debian.net. "For a long time, debian-devel-announce and debian-announce were enough but they are reserved to the very important stuff (at least they are supposed to) that is mandatory for developers to know. With the project growing over the years, every day we generate interesting bits about our project that are nice to know, but it is not always so important that it justifies an email to announce."

*grumble* why do we need another debian news site, couldn't this go into http://times.debian.net/

Debian news sites often seem to be crying out for articles to run so I don't see see why theres any reason for this new site to exist.

Indeed many sites are often struggling to get interesting, new, or useful content.
