Hello! I'm a bit late this week, due to the heavy workload of course ;). The main news of this week are that our web site is now using static Html pages for the official side and that the logo/mascot contest is running well :). Please feel free to express yourself on OCAL if you have artistic skills!
Cheers, JM. PS: if you think that I forgot to mention an important news, feel free to answer this mail with your scoop! Team ===== * No news. Organization =========== * The statutes of our future association “The DDL foundation” are being written. I'll send a mail to poll who would be interested in having a role in this association. * Nava and Elisa have opened an account on Facebook for our project. * I'm currently testing Redmine (http://www.redmine.org/) as an online project management software. It looks very promising and would replace all the tickets on Gna (and do more of course!). Again I'll send a mail when I'm ready to share my feelings :). Translations =========== * New translations have been submitted for Persian (Nava) and Polish (Filar). * Many articles are proposed for publication in German (Tomsk university & Sergey). CDROM ======= * I started to better organize the migration toward Debian Squeeze with Gérald. Graphics ======== * There are already many candidates for the logo contest on OCAL (OpenClipArt Library), see http://openclipart.org/ddl_contest. Website ======= * Our website has switched to its static version which is faster (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-04/msg00107.html). Spip has moved to http://www.doudoulinux.org/spip/ while http://www.doudoulinux.org/test/ is still used to test the latest Spip snapshot before going online. Update your bookmarks! * We are about to put a special modified banner to announce the logo/mascot contest on our website too. * Pages “Contact us” and “Team and contributors” have been slightly modified. Communication ============= * Richard at the Maracaibo FLISOL event on 9-April: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/suI_1dw78_gU1u-HsclojA. More photos from this event on https://picasaweb.google.com/velugmcbo/FLISOL2011. * DDL is now listed on the page of Debian Live derived distros (see http://live.debian.net/project/downstream/). Our project had a kind welcome on the Debian Live list (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2011/04/msg00018.html). Karl Goetz proposed us to join DebianDerivatives Front desk (http://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk), which we'll do when… we find the time! Support ======= * Received a long Russian mail telling that DDL is great but the author had a lot of difficulties to make it run. Apart from hardware detection issues, it took him a long time to figure out that DDL is not dependent of Windows at all. Maybe we are not enough clear about what is a Live system, especially in the download page. Fixes are welcome! _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev
