Verbal bits from the Debian Project Leader

,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxTag 2010 is the host of a Debian 
| miniconf; that, in turn, was where 
| relatively new Debian leader Stefano 
| Zacchiroli delivered a relatively high-
| energy "state of Debian" talk. According to 
| Stefano, Debian is doing great, but can do 
| better yet; he has some ideas for how to 
| make the project better.

Project Harmony looks to improve contribution agreements

,----[ Quote ]
| On 16 June Project Harmony had its first 
| official meeting in Boston, and we're 
| planning another in London on 1st July at 
| Canonical's offices.  Its initial goal is 
| to avoid proliferation in contribution 
| agreements across FOSS software projects 
| where those organisations chose to work 
| with contribution agreements.

The Unity Launcher Looks Gorgeous [Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10]

Lucid Lynx boot times - 10 seconds, yes or no? 

,----[ Quote ]
| I started getting mildly interested in boot 
| time performance and benchmarking after I 
| purchased my RD510 laptop and installed 
| four instances of Jaunty on it. Very soon, 
| I learned that the default installation, 
| with no tweaking or modifications, yielded 
| a handsome 18-second boot on the third 
| installed system, located on the slow end 
| of a fairly standard 5,400rpm laptop disk. 
| The results on the first disk were even 
| more encouraging, just 15 seconds. I 
| believed that if my laptop were equipped 
| with a 7,200rpm disk, I would have broken 
| the 10 second barrier.
