---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to this year's 2nd issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
community. We would like to thank everyone for his feedback on the last
issue of the Debian Project News! We didn't reckoned a tiny newsletter
would cause such an sensation - we where even mentioned in some print

exceed your expectations!

While visiting Stefano Zacchiroli the www 2008 conference[1] in china Sir
Tim Berners-Lee[2] offered Debian kudos[3] for its well thought-out

user[5] and Debian new contributor[6] surveys on June 1st so that
analysis of the results can begin. Please participate if you haven't done
so, yet.
