X.org X Window System support for Debian operating systems

The Debian X Strike Force is a team responsible for maintaining packages for the X Window System in Debian.

The recent important bugs, problems, updates are syndicated on this blog (which supersedes the previous ?Release Notes for Recent Uploads).

Brice Goglin and Cyril Brulebois will occasionally post updates to their blogs. These blogs are syndicated on Planet Debian. These can help provide a bird's eye view of what we're up to for the casual observer.

How to Contact Us

The mailing list is located at debian-x@lists.debian.org . The archives for it are at http://lists.debian.org/debian-x. Most of our communication happens via these resources, as well as the bug tracking system (all bugs against the X Strike Force packages are mailed to the mailing list).

We also have an irc channel on OFTC (which irc.debian.org points to) in #debian-x.
