New Wordpress maintainer
Since my DAM rejection earlier this year I’ve been trying to cut down on Debian work. Unsurprisingly (and perhaps surprisingly to some) I fealt a bit emotionally drained and demotivated from defending myself and working with debian security.
Lately I have been working with new maintainer Andrea De Iacovo and I am very pleased with his work on Wordpress. Wordpress takes most of my time, like the beautiful day of Saturday yesterday. :)
Unfortunately Andrea has had problems finding a sponsor, though a Wordpress security release expedited matters and got Nico Golde’s upload powers into action. :) So if you’re a DD and you use Wordpress, please help out Andrea.
Before I get unsubscribed from Debian Planet, I thought I should pimp my:
- Debian tips and tricks site – the current 400-odd tips are in the public domain so please rip them, update them or add some!
- The fantastic Web kiosk distribution Webconverger based on Debian Live, which also has a blog
Both based on ikiwiki. ;)
Anyway, I am still around of course. Met some great people in the Debian community and sadly some pretty pedantic unfriendly ones too. Final suggestion for DDs: Revoke your GPG keys more often and go to less key signing parties. :P

I’d like to thank you for all your help. I’ll try my best to keep wordpress clean and working in Debian.

Keep at it, I didn’t get into Debian on my first try either.
As for using a smart-card type device for GPG keys, I started a discussion on debian-private about that. I can’t disclose details apart from the fact that some progress was made towards the goal (in terms of solving technical issues) but no decision was made on what to do or when to do it. It’s some progress and I’m sure we’ll get there eventually.
Several DDs expressed strong interest in obtaining smart-card type devices due to that discussion so I think that real progress is happening.
