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.

前幾日去開王府井書店，見到有本書叫《Debian Linux系统配置与管理》。云云 Linux 書海裏有本專門寫 Debian 的實屬少見，所以特別易搵。二話不說，梗係第一時間拎嚟睇吓，睇書我好留意作者，一睇，原來作者係信息产业部软件与集成电路促进中心 (CSIP)，喺北京搞過 Linux 的人都知道 CSIP 係信息產業部下面嘅一大 linux player，個 linux lab 人就唔係好多，但喺 server 就多到用唔晒。講眞，睇見作者係 CSIP 我就即刻打咗個突，心唸既然佢哋都寫到 Debian admin 嘅書，咁我都可以寫 kernel hacking。內容就唔多講喇，想學 Debian 的話都會有用嘅，不過唔該搞清楚個 distribution 個名先好寫書，係 Debian GNU/Linux，唔係 Debian Linux 呀，大佬。

Debian Tee model

Wow, Debian and its logo are used as an example of Geek Tee on a local magazine! Thanks Yorick for scanning the article from the PC Market. Click on the image to see the full page.

Debian is definitely getting more popular and mainstream, while maintaining its geek status. Hmm, I can now see the day of world domination is near…

Apparently, Debian has already started its World Domination sub-project secretly for quite some time, and I guess it probably started from the time when our last Debian Project Leader Martin Michlmayr visited Beijing in the last Debian mini-conf.

Although we don’t have any fist fight or even the slightest flamewar as Alex Schemhl had expected, the participants are really looking for something in this conference. There are more than 10 journalists in this morning, so there are more people than we expected and the room was already full when I arrived and chairs had to be added to accomodate more people, yet some people still have to stand (Oops yes I was late anyway).

The high time is the keysigning session. It’s cool to do something that other people don’t know what you’re doing yet you’re enjoying doing it. (Just kidding :) ) Although this is the Asian Debian mini-conf, there are actually people coming from all over the world, the US, Europe, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc. Great event.

Good job Roger, your planning is great and all the hard work you did was worth of it!

Got to finish signing the keys of the people I met today, my notebook has problem in booting up during the keysigning party so I have to do it now.

不過voidoo大哥，而家未有 security update 喎，咁係咪要等 release 咗先可以用部機呢？

2004年3月刊有一篇題為"Debian及其社區發展"的文章，筆者為楊鵬和李洋，文章大致可讀。不過其中的一段可以令大家在沉悶的一天開懷：

“其實，就像Windows 95的代號是Chicago，Windows
XP的代號是Whistler一樣，Debian各個版本也有非常奇怪的代號。[...]
Debian從1.1到3.0的版本代號都非常有趣，例如，Debian
1.1叫Buzz，1.2叫Rex，2.0叫Hamm，2.2叫Potato，3.0叫Woody。據說這些名字都出自於電影裡面人物的姓名，目前使用的Woody就是某部牛仔電影中的人物。”
