Every month we review the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering. Please find the report for February below.

Debian project funding

• In February Raphaël and the LTS worked on a survey of Debian developers meant to solicit ideas for improvements in the Debian project at large. You can see the results of the initial discussion here in the list of ideas of which there are already over 30.
• The full survey is due to be emailed to Debian Developers shortly.
• In February € 2250 was put aside to fund Debian projects.

Debian LTS contributors

In February, 12 contributors were paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available below. If you’re interested in participating in the LTS or ELTS teams, we welcome participation from the Debian community.

Every month we review the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering. Please find the report for January below.

Debian project funding

• In January we saw a new funded project proposed. The project is meant to bring in a number of changes to the Tryton modules and packages in Debian. Tryton, a full featured, entirely open source business software platform, is supported by its own foundation. You can track the current status of all our funded projects at its dedicated web page.
• Folks continue to add to the Grow Your Ideas project page, that’s great.
• In January € 2550 was put aside to fund Debian projects.

We continue to looking forward to hearing about Debian project proposals from various Debian stakeholders. This month has seen work on a survey that will go out to Debian Developers to gather feedback on what they think should be the priorities for funding in the project.

Debian project funding

• The gradle packaging proposal work estimation is now complete. The next steps for this project is regular packaging and engineering work with regular reports.
• In December € 2175 was put aside to fund Debian projects.

The work on the Debian developer survey has resulted in an initial draft which has been reviewed by paid LTS contributors. The next steps are wider review from the Debian project. Expect something soon on debian-project@lists.debian.org…

Debian project funding

• Our project funding work continues with an active bid on the work of packaging a recent gradle in Debian. This month the bidder has been estimating the scope of the entire project.
• The Grow Your Ideas project page also has some ambitious initiatives that may evolve into a funded project. The project ideas on that page range from a new wiki for Debian, a more efficient reimbursement process, and the implementation of PPAs for Debian.
• In November € 2625 was put aside to fund Debian projects.

We continue to looking forward to hearing about Debian project proposals from various Debian stakeholders. This month has seen work on a survey that will go out to Debian Developers to gather feedback on what they think should be the priorities for funding in the project.
