Last night I gave a short presentation at Beijing Linux User Group (BLUG) on the Debian project and the new Etch release. As Roy Chan had given a talk about the new release in the Hong Kong Debian Etch release party, I asked for his permission to use his slides for this talk, and he happily agreed. I made some modifications to his slides and cut out the part about Linux introduction, you can find the presentation slides in OpenOffice.org 2 format here, PDF version here. In the meeting Darren mentioned the idea of using peer-to-peer technology in apt, so that users don’t need to set any repositories in the configuration, this is a very good idea, and coincidentally there is a Google Summer of Code project on this topic.
