(Reply-to set to debian-boot list.)

The weekend of 11-13 August has been dedicated to Debian Installer [1,2].

SkoleLinux has offered to host a real file BSP in G=FCtersloh (Germany) [3]=
=2E=20
There are currently still two places available there; if you would like=20
to attend, please register in the wiki.

People not at the real life BSP are of course very welcome to participate.=
=20
Coordination as usual via #debian-bugs and also via #debian-boot, both on=20
irc.debian.org.

NOTE
It is *not* the intention that people upload NMUs for fixed bugs.
One reason for this is that it is currently not certain that Beta 3 will=20
have been released (although we certainly hope so); NMUs would severely=20
disturb the release process.
Another reason is that installer packages (udebs) are a bit more fragile=20
where it comes to dependencies than regular packages because of relaxed=20
policy requirements.
Also, there are few or no really release critical bugs to warrant NMUs.

You can really help us though by tracing problems and filing patches.


Please have a look through the open bugs for the installer and see if=20
there is anything you'd like to work on.
=2D List of open issues to resolve before the Sarge release (see last
  section "Post-Beta 3 development"):
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/EtchBeta3Prep
=2D Bugs in packages maintained by the D-I team:
  [e-mail:/developer.php]
=2D Bugs in other packages that affect the installer:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tagd-i&pend-excfixed&pen=
d-excdone

If you want to discuss something before the BSP, please contact the D-I=20
team on #debian-boot or [e-mail:debian-boot@lists.debian]-org.

Some documents that may help you get started:
=2D http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Contrib
=2D http://people.debian.org/~fjp/talks/debconf6/paper/
=2D documents in installer/doc in SVN

Hope to see you during the BSP,

P.S. The fact that the weekend is dedicated to the installer does of=20
course not mean that you cannot work on other packages during that=20
weekend. There're plenty of bugs out there!
