Etch and a half is the nickname for a project to add newer packages (kernel/X drivers) within the stable 'etch' release to increase its usefulness to users with hardware that requires updated drivers.

Agenda
- Is it still a good idea?
- Kernel
- Are there any issues w/ using 2.6.23?
- Must the etch 1/2 kernel have a superset of the 2.6.18 features? (e.g., xen, linux-modules-*, kernel-patches, etc)
- Do we need to comply with etch or post-etch blob-stripping rules?
- What differences should the etch 1/2 kernel have vs. the packages targeted for sid (e.g., ATA config)
- Update kernel patches and modules?
- Newer kernel headers use linux-libc-dev: do we need that too?
- Will newer kernel headers cause other packages that build against them to FTBFS?
- Are there other packages that need to be upgraded at the same time? for instance sysvinit to solve #426224
- 2.6.18 with more backports (e1000, forcedeth, ...)?
- xen update to 3.1?
- X
- What X driver updates?
- d-i
- What d-i changes are necessary? What d-i branch?
- GNOME
- KDE
- Attempt to derive a list of milestones/dependencies
- Future discussion
- teams.debian.net list?
- future meetings
