The Debian Community


Debian has evolved from a "family" to a "community"
	"Religious" diversity
	Various interests -> subgroups / subprojects
	DWN serves the role of a town newspaper
	Emotions around key processes akin to local politics

Community is a key element for our future!

Good Stuff that Happened

Autobuilder infrastructure
	New security process
	Building from accepted
gcc 3.2 and glibc 2.3
LSB compliance recipe
HP used Debian ia64 to set SPECfp record
Desktop Linux survey says Debian is #1 choice

Debian remained stable...
... as commercial distributors changed emphasis

In the Queue
