The Debian Project is happy to announce that it will be represented at the Libre Software Meeting / Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre (LSM/RMLL) event in Bordeaux, France, this year. At the booth, members of the project will be available for questions and discussions and will give a preview of Debian 6.0 Squeeze, which is expected to be released this year.

The Debian project invites users, developers and everyone else interested to visit the booth and ask questions, discuss technical issues and meet the Debian project and its developers in person.

Bug Squashing Party

In order to help Debian towards the release of Squeeze, a Bug Squashing Party will be held during LSM/RMLL.

Even if you are not a Debian developer, as long as you are interested in helping Debian to get all the open release-critical bugs fixed, you're welcome at the BSP. There will be enough developers around to sponsor your NMUs.

There are some more information about BSPs and RC-Bugsquashing.

Coordination for the BSP is done on the wiki page.
