Update for Debian 6.0: 6.0.5 released

The fifth update for Debian 6.0 (codenamed "Squeeze") [1] has been
released. This update mainly adds corrections of security problems to
the stable release, along with some adjustments for serious problems.
1 : http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120512
Deadlines reminder for DebConf12
--------------------------------
Leandro Gómez noted that the deadline for sponsored registration for
DebConf12 is quickly approaching [2]; hurry up and register [3] before
Tuesday 15 May!
2 : http://leogg.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/are-you-going-to-debconf12/
3 : http://debconf12.debconf.org/register.xhtml
In related news, Gunnar Wolf sent another call for papers [4] for
DebConf12: talk submissions will be accepted until a day before the
talk itself, but they must be submitted before Friday 1 June to have
guaranteed video coverage and to be announced as part of the
conference's official program.
4 : http://blog.debconf.org/blog/debconf12/gw_dc12_your_greatest_ideas.dc
Holger Levsen also reported on his recent visit to Managua,
Nicaragua [5]. The report includes a thematically sorted list of
impressions and advice you may be really interested in reading if you
are considering coming to DebConf12. In short, "it was great, DebConf12
will be great."

General Resolution about diversity statement
--------------------------------------------
The Debian Project Secretary, Kurt Roeckx, announced that the process
for a General Resolution about the Debian Project's diversity
statement [6] has been started. Details are available on the related
vote page [7] while the discussion can be followed on the debian-vote
mailing list [8].

8 : https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2012/05/msg00011.html
First alpha release of the installer for Debian Wheezy
------------------------------------------------------
The new Debian Installer [9] supports WPA, uses ext4 as default
filesystem, allows Btrfs for the /boot partition, allows a choice of
the ISO image to use, and a lot more. It also improves the handling of
ZFS file systems, and supports a lot of new hardware. You are welcome
to help finding bugs and further improving the installer by trying it
out. Installer CDs, other media and everything else [10] you will need
are available.
9 : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20120513
10 : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer
"The Debian Administrator's Handbook" freed!
---------------------------------------------
Raphaël Hertzog announced the availability of "The Debian
Administrator's Handbook" [11]. This manual is the English translation
of the French best-seller "Cahier de l'Admin", of which he is co-author
with Roland Mas. The book is now released under a DFSG [12] compliant
license and it has also been packaged for the main Debian repository,
so you can install it on Debian unstable with:
apt-get install debian-handbook
11 : http://raphaelhertzog.com/2012/05/10/the-debian-administrators-handbook-is-available/
12 : http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
An ever growing mirrors network
-------------------------------
Raphael Geissert wrote a blog post about the constant growth of
Debian's mirrors network [13]. The total number of mirrors is currently
330 for the HTTP protocol and 300 for FTP. The mirrors are distributed
across 73 countries, thanks to the Debian sponsors hosting them.
13 : http://rgeissert.blogspot.it/2012/04/ever-growing-mirrors-network.html
Bits from the DPL
-----------------
Stefano Zacchiroli sent his monthly report [14] on DPL activities.
During April, Stefano mostly spent time trying to reach consensus on
various topics: the proposal for a diversity statement for the Debian
Project [15], the revenue sharing agreement [16] with DuckDuckGo, the
long running conflict over Python maintenance [17] and the relationship
between pkg-multimedia maintainers team and the unofficial
debian-multimedia.org repository [18]. In his mail, Stefano also asked
for "DPL helpers": volunteers to help the Debian Project Leader in
some minor tasks and share his work-load.
