Welcome to this year's 6th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian community. Some of the topics covered in this issue:

Debian Day 2008 around the globe

A starting page for local Debian User Groups organizing and announcing Debian Day 2008 events, likely at August 16 2008, is [http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay2008 already available] at Debian Wiki.

Meike Reichle and Alexander Schmehl married

On Saturday, 28 August 2008, Debian Developers Meike Reichle and Alexander Schmehl were [http://www.a10i.net/hz/08-06hochzFN-033.JPG married] at Lake Constance in Germany, marking the first time two Debian Developers were joined in marriage. Our congratulations go out to the newlyweds, and we hope this may be the start of a very joyful time in both their lives.

A few DDs (the german cabal) were present on this lovely Saturday to party with Meike's and Alexander's friends and families. They presented a cookbook prepared by members of the Debian community as a wedding gift. Version 1.1 of the book is now in the works, hopefully with a clarified license and maybe also incorporating changes required by FTBFS bugs if any are filed by the newlyweds in time.
