  Here's how development takes place:

    · Development cycle starts with a new "unstable" branch

    · "Code freeze": no new packages are added after this
      date

    · Several weeks of beta-testing, fixing critical bugs
      and creating boot floppies&install system

    · "unstable" becomes "stable" and is released

    · At the same time a new "unstable" branch is started
      (bugfixes to "stable" come in as they are made)

%bar "red"
 We have no commercial pressure, so we do not make
 releases when the market requires it, but when 
%cont, fore "#ffff00"
we 
%fore "white"
 feel that the distribution is stable.

Distribution details

%image "logo-50.jpg", image "debian.jpg"

%left, size 4, fore "white"
  Debian has several "sub-distributions":

    · main: contains software that complies with our
      guidelines (Debian Free Software Guidelines = DFSG)

    · contrib: software that is "free", but depends on
      non-free packages

    · non-free: Software with licenses that do not allow
      completely free distribution (as defined in DFSG)

    · non-US: Cryptographical and other software that must
      not be exported from the U.S.

  For "non-US" packages we have FTP/Web servers outside
  the US.

Installation of Debian

%right
%image "logo-50.jpg", image "debian.jpg"

%left, size 4, fore "white"
  First step is the 
%cont, fore "#ffff00"
base 
%cont, fore "white"
installation.
  You have several options:

    · Installing from bootfloppies

    · Installing from bootable CD-ROM

  After this step, packages can be installed
  in a lot of ways:

    · Installing from CD-ROM

    · Installing from a local harddisk/ZIP/whatever

    · Installing from network filesystems (NFS)

    · Installing from FTP servers

  The new installation tool: 
%cont, fore "red"
APT

%left, size 4, fore "white"
  The Bug Tracking System is open:
%size 2

%size 4
    · Anyone can read&write bug reports for Debian
      packages

    · Automated database keeps track of open and closed
      bugs

    · Maintainer of a package is automatically notified
      when new bug reports arrive

    · Bugs can be opened, closed, reopened, reassigned,
      manipulated

    · Bugs can have different "severity levels":
      wishlist, normal, important, grave, critical, fixed

  A couple of other architectures besides the classic "i386"
  is supported by Debian today:
%size 3

    · m68k (Motorola MC680x0 based systems):
      Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, VME

    · Alpha

    · ARM (Acorn Risc Machine) processor, as seen in Corel's NetWinder

    · MIPS

    · PowerPC (ppc): Includes Apple PowerMac,
      Motorola Powerstack and probably more

    · Sparc: The older Sun machines (sun4)

    · Sun UltraSparc (sparc64): The modern SUN UltraSparc machines

    · Hurd: Not a new architecture, but GNU's own complete
      operating system, obviously based on Debian

    · ...more still to come.

  Debian consists of 
%cont, fore "#ffff00"
volunteer 
%cont, fore "white"
 programmers around the
  world. 

%bar "red"
  They do not get paid for what they do -

                              they just 
%cont, fore "#ff0000"
like 
%cont, fore "white"
to work on Debian.

%bar "red"
%size 4

    · Over 550 developers around the world, and counting

    · Most of us have never seen each other face-to-face

    · ...but still it 
%cont, fore "red"
works
%cont, fore "white"
!!!

    · Several subgroups for complex tasks, like XFree86,
      mailing list maintenance, installation systems, QA
