Evolution of the situation
October was a regular LTS month with a LTS team meeting done via video chat thus there’s no log to be shared. After more than five years of contributing to LTS (and ELTS), Mike Gabriel announced that he founded a new company called Frei(e) Software GmbH and thus would leave us to concentrate on this new endeavor. Best of luck with that, Mike! So, once again, this is a good moment to remind that we are constantly looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested!
The security tracker currently lists 42 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 39 packages needing an update.
