=== Gitorious and Codehaus closing ===

Both and Gitorious and Codehaus are closing soon. Gitorious [[https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/|will]] shut down at the end of May and Codehaus [[https://codehaus.org/|will]] be removing projects from April 2nd onwards (most around May 17th). There are quite a number of projects in Debian that use Gitorious or Codehaus for their hosting. Folks who maintain packages whose upstream projects use Gitorious or Codehaus might want to talk to their upstreams about where they will move to and or backup code repositories and other data.

Any Debian Developer is eligible to become Application Manager.

Hardware donations moved to wiki

Debian's hardware donations wishlist has moved to the Debian wiki as the current content was obsolete and moving it to the wiki allows all Debian contributors to add their Debian-related hardware wishlists. If you have a need for hardware to enable your work on Debian, please add an entry to the wiki so that hardware donors can contact you about it. You may also usertag (bts user hardware-donations@debian.org , usertag 123456 hardware-needed) bugs that need hardware. If you receive hardware from donors, please post a report about your use of it to the relevant places and update your page. Obsolete hardware wishlist pages should be renamed so they are moved to the list of received hardware. Hardware that is no longer needed should be returned, donated again or disposed of responsibly.

SSL certificate verification on debian.org hosts

For those of you running services on debian.org hosts run by DSA, there has been a change in how our SSL cert config is setup. Until now /etc/ssl/certs mostly contained only certs for debian.org services but this was not consistent between hosts. Going forward, /etc/ssl/certs contains only certs for debian.org services. /etc/ssl/ca-debian contains only certs for CAs that have signed current certs for debian.org services. /etc/ssl/ca-global contains certs for debian.org services and for all of the CAs trusted by the ca-certificates package. Please read this mail for details of how to use these new directories.
