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

Debian project funding

• Our project funding work continues with an active bid on the work of packaging gradle in Debian. The next steps are reviewing the bid and formal approval.
• In October 2,475 EUR was put aside to fund Debian projects.

We’re looking forward to receiving more projects from various Debian teams! Learn more about the rationale behind this initiative in this article.

Debian LTS contributors

In October 12 contributors were paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available below.

• Adrian Bunk did 40.5h in October (out of 28.5h assigned and 18h remaining, thus keeping 6h for November).
• Anton Gladky did 12h (out of 12h assigned).
• Ben Hutchings did 14.75h in October (out of 2h assigned and 28h remaining, thus keeping 15.25h for November).

Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering.

Debian project funding

Folks from the LTS team, along with members of the Debian Android Tools team and Phil Morrel, have proposed work on the Java build tool, gradle, which is currently blocked due to the need to build with a plugin not available in Debian. The LTS team reviewed the project submission and it has been approved. After approval we’ve created a Request for Bids which is active now.

You’ll hear more about this through official Debian channels, but in the meantime, if you feel you can help with this project, please submit a bid. Thanks!

This September, Freexian set aside 2550 EUR to fund Debian projects.

We’re looking forward to receive more projects from various Debian teams! Learn more about the rationale behind this initiative in this article.

Debian LTS contributors

In September, 15 contributors have been paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available:

• Abhijith PA has returned hours and marked themselves inactive, at least for the time being. He did 0h out of 14h, carried over 14h and returned 28h.
• Adrian Bunk did 19.5h (out of 24.75h assigned and 12.75 from August), carrying over 18h to October.
• Anton Gladky did 12h (out of 12h assigned).
• Ben Hutchings did 2h (out of 12.75h assigned and 19.25h from August), thus carrying over 30h to October.
• Chris Lamb did 18h (out of 18h assigned).
• Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did not report back about their work so we assume they did nothing (out of 5.5h assigned plus 74.5h from August), thus is carrying over 80h for October.
• Holger Levsen did 3h (out of 12h assigned) and gave back 9h and carried over 3h.
• Jeremiah Foster worked 10 hours (out of 20h assigned) on LTS work, carrying over 10h.
• Lee Garrett did not report back about their work so we assume they did nothing (out of 24.75h assigned and 23.75 from August), thus is carrying over 48.50h for October.
• Markus Koschany did 43.5h (out of 24.75h assigned and 18.75h from August)
• Neil Williams did 24.5h (out of 24.75h assigned)
• Roberto C. Sánchez did 6h (out of 24.75h assigned and gave back 18.75h)
• Sylvain Beucler did 27h (out of 24.75h assigned).
• Thorsten Alteholz did 24.75h (out of 24.75h assigned).
• Utkarsh Gupta did 24.75h (out of 24.75h assigned) but did not publish his report yet.
• Ola Lundqvist did 2 hours (out of 21h carried over from previous months), and is thus carrying 19h for October.

Evolution of the situation

In September we released 30 DLAs. September was also the second month of Jeremiah coordinating LTS contributors.

Also, we would like say that we are always looking for new contributors to LTS. Please contact Jeremiah if you are interested!

Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering.

Debian project funding

In July, we put aside 2400 EUR to fund Debian projects. We haven’t received proposals of projects to fund in the last months, so we have scheduled a discussion during Debconf to try to to figure out why that is and how we can fix that. Join us on August 26th at 16:00 UTC on this link.

We are pleased to announce that Jeremiah Foster will help out to make this initiative a success : he can help Debian members to come up with solid proposals, he can look for people willing to do the work once the project has been formalized and approved, and he will make sure that the project implementation keeps on track when the actual work has begun.

We’re looking forward to receive more projects from various Debian teams! Learn more about the rationale behind this initiative in this article.

Debian LTS contributors

In July, 12 contributors have been paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available:

• Abhijith PA did 5.0h (out of 7h assigned and 3h remaining), thus carrying over 5h to August.
• Anton Gladky did 12h (out of 12h assigned).
• Ben Hutchings did 12.75h (out of 16h assigned and 2.75h from June), thus carrying over 6h to August.
• Chris Lamb did 18h (out of 18h assigned).
• Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did not report back about their work so we assume they did nothing (out of 39.75h assigned plus 11h from June), thus is carrying over 50.75h for August.
• Holger Levsen‘s work was coordinating/managing the LTS team, he did 3.5h (out of 12h assigned) and gave back 8.5h to the pool.
• Markus Koschany did 30h (out of 30h assigned and 30h from June), thus carrying over 30h to August.
• Ola Lundqvist did nothing (out of 12h assigned plus 20h from June), thus is carrying over 32h for August.
• Roberto C. Sánchez did 13.5h (out of 32h assigned and 20h from June), and gave back 38.5h to the pool.
• Sylvain Beucler did 30h (out of 30h assigned).
• Thorsten Alteholz did 30h (out of 30h assigned).
• Utkarsh Gupta did 39.75h (out of 39.75h assigned).

Evolution of the situation

In July we released 30 DLAs. Also we were glad to welcome Neil Williams and Lee Garrett who became active contributors.

The security tracker currently lists 63 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 17 packages needing an update.

We would like to thank Holger Levsen for the years of work where he managed/coordinated the paid LTS contributors. Jeremiah Foster will take over his duties.
