T-10 and counting!

[Debian]
Things are still happening which is really amazing. Last week, after I wrote about starting NM process I received my tickets for DebConf6. The last thing that is missing (the tickets) finally arrived. So, I got my VISA to Mexico, got the tickets and received the Yellow Fever vaccine (althought it is not mandatory, I prefer to not have any surprises). So, I'm travelling May 10th, I'm arriving early because I want to attend the end of DebCamp and try to work with otavio and teams that I'm interested. :-)

Debian Zine is alive once again. People want to start doing the Brazilian Fanzine about Debian, which is great. I have the intention to help them as I did in the past. There are new ideas about autobuild process for new editions, let's see. Talking about Debian Brasil, I do not found enough time to finish the FISL report about Debian Booth, but I will (and I hope to do that before DebConf6 begins).

Another interesting thing is that my advogato appeared incidentally at Debian Planet, thanks to my friend andrelop, now I know that there are more people reading my diary. :-) BTW, of course I linked to your diary andrelop, you had already wrote about FISL I didn't had the time to do so. And thanks for the certification as Journeyer!

[MISC, including misc Debian stuff]
I tried to get things done this last weekend, I had a lot of e-mails to read and answer. I'm also trying to update a couple of things (including my advogato). My Debian packages are still waiting in my TODO queue, but I hope to get there as soon as possible. I'm also kind of busy with College (exams season). The last couple of days was focused on sysadmin tasks for different projects, which I hope that I can now help better, we'll see.

In the Debian-BR-CDD land I will start to take care of Stable Updates together with tiagovaz. otavio will focus on 1.99.X series (future 2.0) which will include a CD with KDE and we will focus to get security updates and corrections to 1.0, we will use point releases like Debian does, next version: 1.0r1.

[VAC] Should be a good idea to let people know in advance (at leat for those that read my diary), the period that I will be "out" for DebConf6 and also LinuxWorld São Paulo. So, for those who care about from May 10th until May 26th I will be out (and probably a little bit offline, but I will try to keep stuff up-to-date, including this diary).

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
