Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering.
Debian project funding
- Our project funding work continues with an active bid on the work of packaging gradle in Debian. The next steps are reviewing the bid and formal approval.
- In October 2,475 EUR was put aside to fund Debian projects.
We’re looking forward to receiving more projects from various Debian teams! Learn more about the rationale behind this initiative in this article.
