Welcome to this year's first issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian community.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2021
------------------------------------

The call for nominations has been announced for the election of the
Debian Project Leader [1]. The election process starts six weeks prior
to a post vacancy, with the term starting on 2021-04-21. The process
proceeds as follows: Nominations are accepted March 7 through March 13, Campaigns run Sunday March 14 through April 3, and Voting begins April 4 through April 17.


Bullseye Soft Freeze
--------------------

The Release Team announced that bullseye reached the soft freeze
milestone on 2021-02-12 [2]. This freeze allows only small targeted
fixes for the next release. New transitions or versions of packages that
may be disruptive are no longer allowed. You can follow the freeze
schedule on the Bullseye Freeze Timeline and Policy [3] page.

Important Debian Security Advisories
------------------------------------

Debian's Security Team releases current advisories on a daily basis
(Security Advisories 2021 [4]). Please read them carefully and subscribe
to the security mailing list [5] to keep your systems updated against
any vulnerabilities.

4: https://www.debian.org/security/2021/
5: https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/

Some recently released advisories concern these packages: pygments [6],
tiff [7], flatpack [8], grub2 [9], thunderbird [10], docker.io [11],
firefox [12], screen [13], chromium [14], webkit2gtk [15],
openvswitch [16], firejail [17], and connman [18]. The Debian website
also archives [19] the security advisories issued by the Debian Long
Term Support team and posted to the debian-lts-announce mailing
list [20]. Securing GRUB2 UEFI SecureBoot 2021 Since the BootHole [21]
group of bugs announced in GRUB2 in July 2020, security researchers and developers in Debian and elsewhere have continued to look for further
issues that might allow for circumvention of UEFI Secure Boot. Several
more have been found. See Debian Security Advisory 4867-1 [22] for more complete details. Debian published a very informative statement [23]
aiming to explain the consequences of these security vulnerabilities,
and what steps have been taken to address them.

Homeworld, the default artwork and theme for "bullseye"

We send congratulations to Juliette Taka for her winning submission of Homeworld [24], which will be the default theme and artwork for Debian

Ignoring all the above (multiple tags possible) 111 [40] bugs need to be
fixed by Debian Contributors to get Debian 11.0 "bullseye" released.

with for the release to happen.
