Hello! This week we can say that our non-profit organization has really been launched! Many details of its functioning have been explained during the IRC meeting and participants seemed to be interested in knowing more about it. But this is not all: you may have noticed that our new development release 2011-11 is out ;). We also have many ideas on the way concerning communication around our project and the ARM port is going on, what more do you want? 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 ===== * MirosNik asked to join the Serbian team. * Dovix asked to join the Hebrew team. * JuanGa6riel asked to join the Spanish team. * Garratrans112 asked to create the Gaelic, Scottish team. Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * We had our first meeting about our nascent non-profit organization [1]. Although discussions took part during 2 hours, only half the topics could be discussed. My feeling is that this was a good meeting with interest from all the participants :). Fayзal, the association's secretary, will publish a report soon. * Fayзal and Xavier are volunteer to start contacting third-party organizations and try to find funds. The way to present ourselves is to be discussed and will obviously depend on the target. Anybody interested in this task can join them of course. Nevertheless I recommend to start modestly and not dissipate our efforts into launching too many contacts. We also need the help of our drawers to be able to present eye-candy documents :). I'd like to thank all the people who arranged to be available for this first world-wide meeting, taking into account the timezone issue :). We now need to schedule another meeting, for January.

Development =========== * The new development release 2011-11 is out [1]. Nevertheless our website is not totally up to date :(. * Gйrald started to write documentation about DDL/ARM on Genesi hardware. He also had a look at Debian/armhf on Genesi. * Gйrald initiated a discussion with Genesi about patent/software licenses. It appears that audio/video codecs should ship apart to avoid liability (letting the user install them himself shifts the liability). Genesi can also sell us customized hardware if the order volume is sufficient (for an online shop :) ). * TBO's bug is harder to solve than expected, this issue is then postponed. Anyway we still have several months to solve it! [1] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-12/msg00022.html Artwork ======= No news. Website ======= * Pages update has started for 2011-11 [1]. * A news has been published as well [2]. * There were several articles waiting for publication since weeks, I put them online: “ Официальный ве б-сайт и рабочая версия ”, “ DoudouLinux, o computador que as crianзas gostam! ”, “ DoudouLinux, o computador que a crianзada gosta! ”. * New article about IRC meetings [3]. No need to translate it unless you don't know what else to do (I suspect no!). * I'm currently discussing with our Chinese contributors in order to have DDL hosted in China, the CD's first, then maybe the website too.

New visitors, new contributors! * Xavier started to prepare the FOSDEM event, although we won't know if our project is accepted before a week. He's looking at supplying computers and screens, as well as bringing promotion supports. Again help from our drawers will be deeply appreciated ;). * Xavier proposed to write an article for a French speaking (paper) magazine (Linux magazine?). The idea is interesting since articles are paid in these magazines, depending on the license we give to the article. Elisa wrote several articles for these magazines in the past and proposed to carry this job. The payment will fund our new association :). Don't hesitate to imitate them in your language and country! * Oleg uses this newsletter to feed our Google+ account [1], which is a good idea. Who to do this for Diaspora/Facebook? * I invite all our active contributors to post on our dev's blog [2]. This is a good way to make people speak of us because our blog is published on Planet Debian Derivatives. I suspect this is the reason why some Canonical folks recently talked about us on Google+ :). Currently Gaurav, Gйrald and I have an account. Just ask me yours and I'll create it! Don't be shy, your English can be proofread before publication :p. * 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 :(.

He came across several bugs while installing 2011-11 [1][2]. * Another user had an issue with Intel video detection [3](French). He got a black screen :(.
