Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

Individual reports

In March, 238 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

• Abhijith PA did 14 hours (out of 14 hours allocated).
• Adrian Bunk did 8 hours (out of 8 hours allocated).
• Ben Hutchings did 22.5 hours (out of 20 hours allocated plus 16.5 extra hours from February, thus carrying over 14 hours to April).
• Brian May did 10 hours (out of 10 hours allocated).
• Chris Lamb did 18 hours (out of 18 hours allocated).
• Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 26 hours (out of 29.5 hours allocated + 2.5 extra hours from February, thus carrying over 6h to April).
• Hugo Lefeuvre did 20 hours (out of 20 hours allocated).
• Markus Koschany did 29.5 hours (out of 29.5 hours allocated).
• Mike Gabriel did 14 hours (out of 10 hours allocated + 4 extra hours from February).
• Ola Lundqvist did 8.5 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 2 extra hours from last month, thus carrying over 1.5h to April).
• Roberto C. Sanchez did 12 hours (out of 12 hours allocated).
• Sylvain Beucler did 29.5 hours (out of 29.5 hours allocated).
• Thorsten Alteholz did 29.5 hours (out of 29.5 hours allocated).

Evolution of the situation

In March we had one new contributor, Sylvain Beucler, though we lost Antoine Beaupré. Thankfully we also gained Jonas Meurer starting in April, yet we are are still very much looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested to become a paid LTS contributor.

On a positive note, we are also pleased to welcome a new French university among LTS sponsors: Université Grenoble Alpes.

The security tracker currently lists 36 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 39 packages needing an update.

Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

Individual reports

In February, about 204.5 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

• Abhijith PA did 14 hours (out of 14 hours allocated).
• Adrian Bunk did 8 hours (out of 8 hours allocated).
• Antoine Beaupré did 16 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated + 11.5 extra hours, but gave back the remaining hours because he wanted to stop working on LTS).
• Ben Hutchings did 4 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated plus 1 extra hour, thus keeping 16.5 extra hours for March).
• Brian May did 10 hours (out of 10 hours allocated).
• Chris Lamb did 18 hours (out of 18 hours allocated).
• Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 20.5 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated + 3.25 extra hours, thus keeping 2.25 hours for March).
• Hugo Lefeuvre did 19.5 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated).
• Markus Koschany did 19.5 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated).
• Mike Gabriel did 6 hours (out of 10 hours allocated, thus keeping 4 extra hours for March).
• Ola Lundqvist did 14 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 8 extra hours, thus keeping 2 extra hours for March).
• Roberto C. Sanchez did 13.25 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated + 9.75 extra hours, but he gave back the remaining hours).
• Thorsten Alteholz did 19.5 hours (out of 19.5 hours allocated).

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsors (and thus the funding level) did not change for a couple of months. On the contributors side, we have some turn-over: Antoine Beaupré is stopping after many years of good work. Many thanks to him! Fortunately, Sylvain Beucler just started and the workload did not increase too much on existing contributors. But we are still looking for more paid LTS contributors.

The security tracker currently lists 42 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 28 packages needing an update.

Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

Individual reports

• Antoine Beaupré did 9 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated, thus keeping 11.5h extra hours for February).
• Ben Hutchings did 24 hours (out of 20 hours allocated plus 5 extra hours from December, thus keeping one extra hour for February).

• Chris Lamb did 18 hours (out of 18 hours allocated).
• Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 42.5 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated + 25.25 extra hours, thus keeping 3.25 extra hours for February).

• Thorsten Alteholz did 20.5 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated).

Evolution of the situation

In January we again managed to dispatch all available hours (well, except one) to contributors. We also still had one new contributor in training, though starting in February Adrian Bunk has become a regular contributor. But: we will lose another contributor in March, so we are still very much looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested to become a paid LTS contributor.
