The past two weeks saw activity mainly on our website, on ARM and on Debian derivatives. We now have less than a month to publish the next development release 2011-11. If you want your work be included, it's time to wake up! 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 ===== * Sysinit asked to join the Chinese team. Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * If you don't know how to help the project, read the latest mail about next releases :) [1]. * I started to register Debian bugs on behalf of our project [2]. This is one of the topics that were discussed when the Debian folks asked us to join their derivatives effort [3]. This is a good way to show how our project contributes to its parent distro. A dedicated mail will come to explain how you can report your own bugs to Debian too, while registering them for our project. * I disabled anonymous comments on Redmine since this lead to increasing spam [4]. We now have to make up our minds: should users keep using Redmine or go back to Gna to report issues? Gna allows anonymous reports with undisclosed email address, I think it's dealing better with spam too. * I took part to the latest IRC meeting of Debian Derivatives [5]. Debian folks talked about the tools they're writing to automatically extract derivatives patches applied to the Debian base. To ease their work we have to setup a source packages repository for Debian packages (we currently only have a binary packages one). * By the way I'm still looking forward to welcoming volunteers willing to participate into DDL IRC meetings. I think we can have short weekly meetings in western Europe evening and a larger monthly meeting matching all the world timezones (eg. beginning of afternoon for western Europe). * Redmine: there are still tickets to be moved from our former project management software Gna [6]. Please move/close the tickets you're owning, unless their history is huge.

CDROM ====== * Gйrald has already written (French) notes about how to have DDL on ARM [1]. He suggested to apply to get ARM hardware from Genesi [2] (this is donated hardware, for projects that are porting Linux on ARM). Hope we'll get at least 2 devices :). * I rearranged our list of tasks for 2011-11 again because we're late, as usual! [3] [1] http://doukki.net/ [2] http://www.genesi-usa.com/ [3] http://team.doudoulinux.org/projects/doudoulinux-cd/issues/gantt Artwork ======= Have you noticed the change in name for this section of the weekly news? Yes we'll now talk about any “artistic” work, may it be pure creation or “just” compositions of existing artworks with complying licenses. * Sergey had a deeper look at Gutenberg.org [1] while a visitor (Remy) posted about Librivox.org [2]. Of course we won't find everything we need in every language, but this is a good start point and I'll show you very soon what we've already started to do with my children :). [1] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/418 [2] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/438 Website ======= * Translator's FAQ updated due to new article about website work copy [1]. * Sergey proposed for proofreading an article around the tutorial video Ehtele made [2]. Xavier posted the URL of the video he made several months ago in order to find a way to use it on our website [3]. * New news about our first Portuguese pages, written by Sergey and translated in several languages [4]. Not all published yet. * New French article from me: “Site web officiel et copie de travail”. * New Italian articles from Salvatore: “Repositorio dei pacchetti Debian”, “Scaricare le compilazioni giornaliere”. * Many new Malay articles from PureTech who may have broken his record of articles/week :) : “Aplikasi multimedia”, “Repositori pakej Debian”, “Laman web rasmi dan salinan kerja”, “Tetapan tetikus”, “Tetapan bunyi”, “Tetapan skrin”, “Laporkan masalah perkakasan”, “Menggunakan pencetak”. * There are a lot of obsolete screenshots in our pages. Sergey started to discuss about updating them [5]. Note that I don't mean to capture each screenshot in the CD language, but to replace the obsolete images with the latest English/French/etc. version to lower the workload. * I fixed duplicated links in PDF download tables, as reported by Sergey [6].

It was a success but unfortunately, due to recent netbooks presumably, DDL did not work as expected… * Salvatore launched the translation of our Wikipedia article into English [2]. The idea is to split the effort among several translators who understand Latin languages. Unfortunately we're still lacking of volunteers :(. * Salvatore is still monitoring our DistroWatch ranking [3].
