Hi all,
I want to get the MOTU school[0] up and running again. I have spoken
briefly with Daniel, and there is a place for it to complement the
packaging 101 sessions and the Q+A sessions. This means we need ideas
for sessions that are not basic packaging, and are too complex for a
quick answer du
ith a solution here as well.
Remember that you can also influence what the next session will be by
going to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/Requests and suggesting
sessions, volunteering to present one, or voting for the ones that you
would like to see.
Thanks,
James

Hi all,
I'd like confirmation that my plan for this situation makes sense.
At the end of last year there was a small transition done to move
from libc-client2007b to libc-client2007d.
However, Debian then reverted this change (with an epoch), as they
didn't want the SONAME bump in lenny.
