 * Question

What is now happening in Debian that is exciting, fun and sane?

 * Answers

The armhf and arm64 ports have for me been wonderful and exciting, and were a great time for me to start getting involved.
 -- Jon "Aardvark" Ward

We have a way of tracking random contributors, and as far as I know no other project has anything like it.
 -- Enrico Zini

codesearch.debian.net is an incredibly important resource, not just for us but for the free software community at large.
 -- Ben Hutchings

sources.debian.net is a very useful resource with lots of interested contributors, it recieved 10 OPW applicants
 -- zack

It has never been easier to work on new infrastructure project thanks to the
awesome work of the DSA team. We have dozens of contribution opportunities
outside of just plain packaging.
 -- Raphaël Hertzog

The work on reproducible builds has achieved excellent results with 61.3% of packages being reproducible.
 -- Paul Wise 

 * Random pointers and facts

- wheezy-backports is more useful and used than ever

 - arm64/ppc64el ready to go into jessie
 
 - porting arm64 has been (peversely) great fun. It's remarkably morish and I like nothing more than a tedious argument with autoconf macros.

Working with lots of enthusiastic people from other teams, helping getting the port set up and build has been great - thank you everybody.
 -- Wookey

 - ci.debian.net
 - Long Term Support has arrived!
 - cross-toolchains for jessie are available. See https://wiki.debian.org/CrossToolchains#Installation
 - build-profile support (for bootstrapping) is all in jessie (dpkg, apt, sbuild, python-apt, debhelper, libconfig-model-dpkg-perl, lintian). https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec It's been great to watch my GSOC student Johannes steadily take over driving this project so I don't haveto do anythin
 
 - Debian is participating for the second time in OPW as mentor orga \o/
 - ftp-master is getting an API: https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/

 - we froze, in time, and (?with the lowest RC bug count ever? (in absolute and relative numbers?))
    - and we have a concrete plan for getting from that to our deliverable, a release

More people want to join our wonderful project than we can currently cope with

People have been happily busy writing this document! ;-)

PointCloudLibrary (PCL) got migrated from Ubuntu to Debian - Yay!
