| Early March 2008
| Very soft freeze
| Please start thinking about the release when uploading new major
| upstream versions. Only upload to unstable if you are sure that
| the software will be stable before we release. If you are not
| convinced, use experimental as staging area.
|
| Freeze of release goal list
| We will announce the final list of release goals and report about
| the progress made in each area. At this point, goals which look
| too hard to complete for lenny will be removed from the list (and
| automatically put on the list for lenny+1)

In Defense and Praise of Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| However, as a long-time Debian user, I have to wonder what the discontent is
| about. According to the Linux Foundation's 2007 Desktop/Client Survey, Debian
| accounts for a healthy 26.5% of corporate clients and 21% of personal
| desktops. Take Ubuntu and other Debian-derivatives into account, and 90% of
| those participating in the survey were deploying Debian technology (although
| they were often using other distributions as well).
