"Ceratopsian" will be the default theme for Debian 13

Donald — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 12:56:08 +0000

The theme "Ceratopsian" by Elise Couper has been selected as the default theme for Debian 13 "trixie". The theme is inspired by Trixie's (the fictional character from Toy Story) frill and is also influenced by a previously used theme called "futurePrototype" by Alex Makas.

After the Debian Desktop Team made the call for proposing themes, a total of six choices were submitted. The desktop artwork poll was open to the public, and we received 2817 responses ranking the different choices, of which Ceratopsian has been ranked as the winner among them.

We'd like to thank all the designers that have participated and have submitted their excellent work in the form of wallpapers and artwork for Debian 13.

Congratulations, Elise, and thank you very much for your contribution to Debian!

Debian welcomes its new Outreachy interns

Donald — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:19:02 +0000

Debian continues participating in Outreachy, and we're excited to announce that Debian has selected two interns for the Outreachy December 2024 - March 2025 round.

Patrick Noblet Appiah will work on Automatic Indi-3rd-party driver update, mentored by Thorsten Alteholz.

Divine Attah-Ohiemi will work on Making the Debian main website more attractive by switching to HuGo as site generator, mentored by Carsten Schoenert, Subin Siby and Thomas Lange.

Congratulations and welcome Patrick Noblet Appiah and Divine Attah-Ohiemi!

From the official website: Outreachy provides three-month internships for people from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech. Interns work remotely with mentors from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities on projects ranging from programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical design, to data science.

The Outreachy programme is possible in Debian thanks to the efforts of Debian developers and contributors who dedicate their free time to mentor students and outreach tasks, and theSoftware Freedom Conservancy's administrative support, as well as the continued support of Debian's donors, who provide funding for the internships.

Join us and help extend Debian! You can follow the work of the Outreachy interns reading their blogs (they are syndicated in Planet Debian), and chat with us in the #debian-outreach IRC channel andmailing list.
