In October 2026 I've worked on the below listed packages for Freexian (E)LTS [1]. This is my 20th month involved with the (E)LTS efforts.

Worked on an update for bookworm (LTS) which was announced as [DLA-4828-1]. Updates for ELTS where also published and announced in: - [ELA-1864-1] (buster,bullseye) - [ELA-1865-1] (stretch) ## gst-plugins-good1.0 Squashed 12 CVEs via backporting patches from upstream.
