Hi all,
We just finished the last bits of the
new issue of DPN to be released on Monday September 29, after 20:00 UTC.
As we haven't released an issue for several weeks, a lot of contents
accumulated and this issue is quite long. We would very much appreciate
reviews and translations.
Instructions are available on the wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews
The last updated version is available on the publicity
Subversion repository, even via HTTP:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/publicity/dpn/en/2014/13/index.wml?view=markup
If you're willing to contribute to the redaction of the next issue,
don't hesitate, and join #debian-publicity IRC channel or send a message
to debian-public...@lists.debian.org.
Cheers,
Cédric

Adam D. Barrat sent
a href=https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/09/msg2.html;some
new of the release team/a. The window for new transitions closed on September
5. Ongoing transitions should be completed as quickly as possible. The final
architecture check was completed mid September, and the current agreed list
list of architectures for Jessie is amd64, armel and armhf, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc and s390x. The final
decision for kFreeBSD ports, for which human resources is a concern, and arm64
and ppc64el ports, which made good progress and have strong support is expected
in the very beginning of November.
The freeze for Jessie is scheduled for November 5. In order to get their
packages in Jessie before the freeze, maintainers of packages should take into
account the fact that starting from October 5, the migration delay for all
packages uploaded to unstable to enter Jessie will be 10 days.
