    Results for the Debian init system coupling GR
    The preliminary results have been announced for the Debian general
    resolution on init system coupling. The winning option was #4, the one
    saying that no general resolution is required in this situation. So there
    will be no change in Debian policy resulting from this vote.

    Today's Debian technical committee resignation: Ian Jackson
    Ian Jackson has announced his immediate resignation from the Debian
    technical committee. "While it is important that the views of the 30-40% of the project who
    agree with me should continue to be represented on the TC, I myself am
    clearly too controversial a figure at this point to do so. I should
    step aside to try to reduce the extent to which conversations about
    the project's governance are personalised.

    And, speaking personally, I am exhausted.    "

    (Thanks to Mattias Mattsson).

    [$] A Firefox OS 2.0 preview on the Flame

    Mozilla has rolled out a preview of the next major milestone in Firefox OS, its HTML-driven mobile operating system. The upcoming release is branded Firefox OS 2.0 and incorporates a number of significant changes. The preview was released first as an over-the-air update available for the Flame developer phone; since I had recently acquired such a device, I decided to take a look.
