Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours increased to 210 hours per month. We lost a silver sponsor but gained a new platinum sponsor with the Civil Infrastructure Platform project (hosted by the Linux Foundation, see their announce).

We are very happy to see the CIP project engage directly with the Debian project and try to work together to build the software stack for tomorrow’s world’s infrastructure.

The security tracker currently lists 57 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 52.
