Hello!

I established a kind of blog in Russian sharing everything related to 
Doudoulinux in the whole and particularly in Russia: 
http://dudulinuks.reformal.ru/.
I still have not comments but almost 300 of views for a week!
Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Sergey

Subject: [Doudoulinux-dev] DDL newsletter - 2011-08-10

Hello!

As you now know we're going to publish our first (development) version based on 
Debian Squeeze for the end of the month, then an update of Gondwana for 
mid-September, and finally we'll focus on DDL on ARM processors (read the 
complete story on 
https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-08/msg00014.html). This is why 
our project is back to development and I hope you'll all find the time to 
provide translations, graphics and more within the upcoming weeks to be ready 
on time :). Concerning this week, it's been quite slow due to summer holidays 
in our hemisphere :).

All the best,
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
===========

* We are supported by the initiator of Debian Jr. in order to make the project 
revive (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives/2011/07/msg00075.html).

* Mailing lists: please *register* to our sub-lists.
   doudoulinux-dev → main list
   doudoulinux-docs → website translation
   doudoulinux-lang → CD translation (Transifex and more)
   doudoulinux-graphics → graphic design
   doudoulinux-forum → user's list

* Redmine: there are still tickets to be moved from our former project 
management software Gna. Please move the tickets you're owning, unless their 
history is huge.


Translations
============

* Translations were submitted on Transifex for Danish, Greek, Malay and Persian 
(Joe, Kvisitor, Puretech, Nava).

* Danish and Greek CD translations are nearly finished (see 
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/doudoulinux/r/all-resources/). 
Congratulations to Joe and our Greek team, Constantin (alias Kvisitor) and 
Panos (alias Pyanna7).

If you want to be ready for the first Gondwana update too, please fill in your 
translations for mid-September!


CDROM
======

* Gйrald started to install Debian Wheezy on ARM devices to investigate on 
DoudouLinux/ARM. We'll try to have a code base that is common for Debian 
Squeeze and Wheezy (the next stable release of Debian). Wheezy may not be 
stable enough for a daily use but it is much faster on ARM than Squeeze for 
technical design reasons.

* I moved the Gondwana code base to branches on our SVN server (see message 
https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-08/msg00015.html). The trunk 
branch is now dedicated to Squeeze. The experimental branch that Gйrald set up 
for Squeeze is abandoned since its code has been merged to the trunk.

* I brought many improvements to the Squeeze build (see message 
https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-08/msg00018.html). It can now 
be built in languages other than English :). But there are still many issues 
though :(.

* Test DVD's are available on the dailybuild section for next release 2011-08 
(see http://download.doudoulinux.org/dailybuild/).


Graphics
========

* OCAL contest: Oleg announced the results on OCAL (see 
http://openclipart.org/ddl_contest) and started to contact participants of the 
contest in case they would feel like helping us.

* Fran who finished at the 3rd place of our contest, contacted us to tell he is 
mainly a sculptor. So why not sculpting DoudouLinux characters then? :)


Website
=======

We have reached 100,000 visitors last week. By the way Google increased its 
ranking from 4 to 5 and Alexia is ranking us the 620,000th most visited site of 
the world (among ~80 millions of sites!).

* New Italian articles thanks to Salvatore: “Regolazione del mouse”, “Logo di 
DoudouLinux”.

* We still need a news to announce Malay, German, Telugu and Latvian 
translations.


Communication
=============

No news.


Support
=======

* Two people asked about DDL installation.
* A Chinese man is reporting that our website is now black listed in China :(. 
We may need to setup a mirror.
