Networking

• NEVER run dhcpd servers, radvd or similar things in the network. We'll hunt you down and squash you like a bug

• ipv6 is available.

  • If you have ipv6 addresses from somewhere else on your laptop, make sure you don't create a routing mess

Bugs, Targets, Ideals

• Please check if nobody else is working on a bug before you begin hacking!
• Make sure you use 'bts claim' to claim bugs you want to work on.

• An overview of claimed bugs is available on here.

• Use #debian-bugs on the OFTC Network if more coordination is needed.

• Please mail debian-admin@lists.debian.org for install requests on debian.org-machines. See http://dsa.debian.org/doc/install-req/ on how the subject of your mail should be formated.

• Use #debian-release or bugs.d.o (User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org, Usertag: transition) to coordinate library transitions.

Release-critical bugs:

• http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_and_sid&pending=ign&deferred=ign&merged=ign&fnewer=ign&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=source&sorto=asc&cpopcon=1&chints=1&cseverity=1&ctags=1

More:

• Take care of bugs found by piuparts

• Help the ipv6 release goal by adding ipv6 support to programs which do not support it yet. There is a list of bugs to work on, but don't hesitate to file new ipv6-related bugs if you find them - and fix them!

• Fix Bugs related to the Python2.6 transition, which should (hopefully!) start before the BSP.

• Fix Bugs (1, 2) related to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Axel Beckert has root access on the porter machines io and asdfasdf and can install build-dependencies where necessary.

• Find obsolete and unmaintained packages in unstable and file RoQA removal bugs.
• Squash everything else you don't like (but let the DDs live)

Catering

• Catering will be provided by the organizers, except Saturday night, when we'll go out for a (self-paid) dinner.
