Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
In the upcoming weekend, FOSDEM is organised again in Brussel. It's one of the biggest open source events in the world, with typically around 1000 people attending. Also Debian will have a strong presence over there, with our own Developer room, with quite a number of talks (fwiw, I'll be talking too, I even happen to be the opening speaker of the Debian room... *need more work on the slides*).
