Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, August 2018

September 19, 2018 by Raphaël Hertzog

A Debian LTS logoLike each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

Individual reports

In August, about 220 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Abhijith PA did 5 hours (out of 10 hours allocated, thus keeping 5 extra hours for September).
  • Antoine Beaupré did 23.75 hours.
  • Ben Hutchings did 5 hours (out of 15 hours allocated + 8 extra hours, thus keeping 8 extra hours for September).
  • Brian May did 10 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did not manage to work but returned all his hours to the pool (out of 23.75 hours allocated + 19.5 extra hours).
  • Holger Levsen did 10 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 16 extra hours, thus keeping 14 extra hours for September).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did nothing (out of 10 hours allocated, but he gave back those hours).
  • Markus Koschany did 23.75 hours.
  • Mike Gabriel did 6 hours (out of 8 hours allocated, thus keeping 2 extra hours for September).
  • Ola Lundqvist did 4.5 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 8 remaining hours, thus keeping 11.5 extra hours for September).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 6 hours (out of 18h allocated, thus keeping 12 extra hours for September).
  • Santiago Ruano Rincón did 8 hours (out of 20 hours allocated, thus keeping 12 extra hours for September).
