* Frank Lichtenheld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-08-15 02:00]: This is a summary of the AM report for Week Ending 14 Aug 2005. 5 applicants became maintainers. I know for a fact that some accounts were created in the last weeks that were neither mentioned in the weekly mail on -newmaint nor in a New Maintainers mail here. This is probably due to the db.debian.org move in between. Has anyone a list of these accounts? Only one, Helen Faulkner helen, accounted created on 2005-07-15 afaict but for some reason she doesn't show up in http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2005/07/msg00062.html Helen Faulkner helen I am a physicist, currently working in Sheffield, UK, though I'll be moving back to Australia in a few months. Australia is home for me :) I have a general interest in computers and programming which originated in my research (I do a lot of simulation and theory calculations). I have been using Linux for a few years now, since my housemate bugged me into letting him install Debian on my computer ;) I guess I initially used it because I was curious to learn about Linux and I found increasingly that the software available was useful for my work. I now use Debian for almost 100% of my work and most of my other activities with computers. I agree with the ideals of the open source software movement, would like to see more of its idea happening in academic science, and generally think it's a great thing for humanity to discover at this point in history. Debian appeals to me because it embodies the ideals of that movement very well, and because I enjoy using it. I want to volunteer my time for Debian because I enjoy doing volunteer work in things that interest me (have done loads of volunteer work before, in varied fields, including sailing tall ships, visiting elderly people with my dog, being involved in mentoring schemes at uni, etc). This is the first volunteer work I have done in an area like this, and as such it appeals to me. This whole Debian thing is entertaining too! I intend to focus my work in Debian in two main areas. One is maintaining packages, mainly kde things, like the ones I am already maintaining. The other aim I have is to help make the debian-women project a working, effective resource for the Debian community. I think there is lots to do in that project, and that I have something to offer there :) -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you install stable and activate convenient security updates via apt-get, you rely on the integrity of the network (and security.debian.org, but that's hard to avoid). Things are even worse if you add sources.list lines for regular updates (or even unstable) because now, mirrors are used and you trust them. As a result, there are a few machines which, when compromised, threaten the integrity of at least some of our Debian machines (not quite single points of ownership, but they come close). A great deal of work has been done in this area. See http://bugs.debian.org/203741 for information. It would be great if you would like to help with this. Of course, there is always the signed DSA with the md5sums, but checking this data is rather inconvenient.

Default mailcap handling leaves something to be desired, too. Can you be more specific? Are there bugs filed? -- - mdz
