The purpose of this wiki page is mainly to track press coverage about Debian in 2008.

New topics are added at the bottom. New items inside topics are added at the bottom of them. "Reviews" and "General Debian Project coverage" are fixed position topics at the bottom due to wiki formatting limitations (no headings de-indentation / "un-nesting" without new heading. Do you have a solution?)

If possible do not only list press coverage, but try to relate it to respective mails / news / whatever from our side, so we can see, what press published after we made some kind of announcement.

The press coverage pages are result of collective effort of Debian Publicity Team and all occasional contributors.

Hiroshima International School using Debian Edu

先進的な取組み: 広島インターナショナルスクールの事例

The Open School Project (Japan) visited a Debian Edu school at Hiroshima. On 4 pages (in Japanese), the article reports how 'ancient' P166 are re-used to serve as thin clients, thus performing better than any locally used workstation.
