    Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" release planned for May 5
    The (hopefully) final update for the Debian Wheezy release has gone out;
    the current plan is to release on May 4 or 5. "The
    intention is only to lift the date if something really critical pops up
    that is not possible to handle as an errata, or if we end up technically
    unable to release that weekend (e.g. a required machine crashes or d-i
    explodes in a giant ball of fire).

    Huang: The $12 Gongkai Phone
    Andrew "bunnie" Huang dissects a Chinese
    phone. "However, if you know a bit of Chinese, and know the right
    websites to go to, you can download schematics, board layouts, and software
    utilities for something rather similar to this phone…”for free”. I could,
    in theory, at this point attempt to build a version of this phone for
    myself, with minimal cash investment. It feels like open-source, but it’s
    not: it’s a different kind of open ecosystem.
    " (Thanks to Paul Wise)
