Debian Weekly News - December 26th, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to this year's 42nd issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. DWN is currently not being published weekly but
when authors have contributed enough items because its editor can't
ignore other duties while the Debian project is indirectly paying some
developers. In the meantime Christian Perrier has opened the
[1]400,000th bug report. Jonathan Oxer [2]called for participation
in the sixth Debian [3]mini conference which will be part of
[4]Linux Conference Australia in Sydney.

20.000 Submitters for Popularity Contest. Petter Reinholdsen
[5]reported that Debian's [6]Popularity Contest project passed
20,000 submitters. By installing the [7]popularity-contest package
users can collect and submit the list of installed packages on their
systems which helps our developers to [8]see how popular their
packages are and where a need for additional packages is.
