Hello! This week was full of amazing news, not because 2011-11 is out, since it's not ready for publication yet ;). But because our project is welcoming a new developer, Kishor, because Gérald had Gnome run on Genesi smartbooks and because the DDL non-profit organization is officially launched.
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 ===== * Kishor asked to join the developer's team. He's a friend of Gaurav and will dive into our project with his help. * Shredder121 asked to join the Dutch team. * Yaron asked to create a Hebrew team. They're already at work. Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * Our non-profit organization is now legally existing [1]. This is really great news since this means we can open a bank account and start to ask for donations :). I still have to make a page on our website telling about this association and its role. An IRC meeting is to be programmed on this topic. [1] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-12/msg00000.html Translations ============ * Many translations were submitted on Transifex for Dutch (Shredder), Greek (Kvisitor), Hebrew (Yaron), Spanish (Yago), Telugu (Praveen) and Ukrainian (Dark_blood). Development =========== * The new development release is about to be published [1]. * Gérald had Debian/Squeeze/armel running on Genesi smartbooks with Gnome [2]. This is great news since this means we can now really start to port DDL on ARM :). Gérald will put his work on SVN and write documentation for the developer's team. On my side I have to move as many DDL tricks as possible into standard Debian packages to make this independent of the target platform and system (Live or not, x86/ARM/etc.). * Gaurav is back to our project and looking at TBO's bug [3]. Kishor will work with him on the time limit topic [4]. * New dailybuilds of 2011-11 are available [5]. Please fetch one of them, test and report!

If you're curious about it, just download the latest dailybuilds ;). [1] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-12/msg00001.html Website ======= * The algorithm to automatically put online the nighly snapshot of our website work copy (Spip) [1][2] is now activated. Unless it is disabled because our documentation is being heavily updated, your work will now go automatically online around 03:00 GMT every night. * Xavier reported mirrors download stats for November [3]. I answered with the total for mirrors + main site, since Gondwana 1.1 is out: more than 33,000 CD's :).

If you want to launch another account, please follow Identi.ca [1], our dev's blog [2] and our website news to feed the account. I cannot post everywhere every time ;). * I recall that Salvatore launched the translation of our Wikipedia article into English [3]. 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 [4].
