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

TODO:

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

This weekend, Debian Developers Meike Reichle and Alexander Schmehl were 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.

wxwidgets2.8 upload to unstable

Adeodato Simó recently uploaded [http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/wxwidgets2.8 wxwidgets2.8] to unstable. This is a long requested update, but package maintainers are encouraged to be conservative about using it: Only packages that don't work with [http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/wxwidgets2.6 wxwidgets2.6] should use the new version, stability and new bug issues are expected to happen when switching too fast. This is also the reason behind the decision to keep wxwindows2.6 as default for [http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny Lenny]. Testing with the new widgetset for such applications that still would work with wxwindows2.6 should happen in private or experimental before decisions are done.

Important Debian Security Advisories

Debian's Security Team released among others advisories for the packages [http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-... foo], [http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-... bar] and [http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-... baz]. Please read them carefully and take the proper measures.

Please note, that those are only the most important security advisories of the last two weeks. If you would like to be always up to date regarding security advisories released by the Debian Security Team, please subscribe to the [http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/ our mailing list for security announcements.]

Work-needing packages

Currently x packages are orphaned and y packages are up for adoption. Please take a look at the [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/... recent] [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/... reports] if there are packages you are interested in or view the complete archive of packages requesting [http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/help_requested help].

Want to continue reading DPN? Please help us create this newsletter. We still need more volunteer writers who watch the Debian community and report about what is going on. Please see the [:ProjectNews/HowToContribute:contributing page] to find out how to help. We're looking forward to receiving your mail at debian-publicity@lists.debian.org.
