This morning when I arrived to the LSM (Libre Software Meeting) in Dijon (France) I discovered that there was no Debian booth … so I quickly created one. Emmanuel Dreyfus agreed to give me a bit of space on his NetBSD booth. Thanks !

Feel free to come to the little Debian booth. There’s not much to see on the booth but you can bring your stuff if you have…

Today while reading my mails on Debian lists I discovered with pleasure this message: Bits from the CD team, 2005-03-16.

It looks like Steve Mc Intyre plans to improve debian-cd… he didn’t give any detail yet, but debian-cd certainly needs some work. I do have some ideas of improvements for debian-cd but I lack time to implement them. However that’s a project I’d like to fullfill or at least to help out. Maybe I could try to get it sponsored by Ubuntu / Mark Shuttleworth … the improved debian-cd that I imagine could be much more useful for derivative distros.

While debian-cd has never been a major problem for Debian (i.e. it never delayed a release!), I have been regularly neglecting it… doing all the required work in a few batchs. But thanks to the work of people like Steve and Santiago Garcia Mantinan, debian-cd hasn’t suffered too much.

We’ll see what will happen this year, but there’s good chance that debian-cd development will take interesting new paths.
