I am sorry to say this, but unfortunately we don't have much yet. I am pretty busy this week, and will probably not have much spare time for this until June 10th. It's too bad that this is not further away from Linuxtag. Sorry for that. :(
What we have so far is: - sponsors that would pay for the CDs in case we manage to get the master ready in time (which would be really soon) - some experimenting with building woody CDs without any testing at all unfortunately; first I build some w/o non-US on gluck, and later on Torsten's server. The debian-cd snapshot from CVS probably needs to be patched (or just updated?) to get rid of the woody-secured stuff since apt-cdrom is supposed to get confused because of it - boot floppies: a dark side; I don't even know if this image would install; apparently there are some woody boot floppies available (which the "test"-cds use), but I don't know if it would be suitable for use at all. In the last weeks I didn't keep up with debian-boot anymore, and last point I remember is somebody installing woody with woody bfs after some hacking on them What do we need to do? - somebody needs to go through the list of packages from last years CD (http://auric.debian.org/~rb/lt2k/packages.txt) and sort out which packages we should include on this year's CD (http://people.debian.org/~rb/linuxtag-cd/packages) - somebody (the more people the better) needs to do some testing with the woody bfs and if can use them at all; If we would use potato bfs we'd probably have to do some other hacking like building a woody base system, right? My involvement - As I said before, my time right now is sort of limited. If no people speak up to help (and do testing), I guess that there won't be a CD. I would be willing to help contribute to the CD, but before June 10th I won't be able to spend a whole lot of time on it, so some major contributions (and the actual mastering of the CD) needs to be done by other people. I am sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I tried to push it from one day to the other in the hope of finding more time to work on it. Sorry. So, people speak up! I think it'd be great to have a CD this year, but I must admit that last year we probably were a lot further at this point of time.
