DebConf sponsorship
Thanks to the Extended LTS service, Freexian has been able to invest some money in DebConf sponsorship. This year, Debconf attendees should have Debian LTS stickers and flyer in their welcome bag. And while we were thinking of marketing, we also opted to create a promotional video explaining LTS and Freexian’s offer. This video will be premiered at Debconf 19!
Evolution of the situation
We continue to be looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested to become a paid LTS contributor.
The security tracker (now for oldoldstable as Buster has been released and thus Stretch became oldoldstable) currently lists 41 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 43 packages needing an update.
