More specifically, meet Jeremiah Foster . In fact, while Jeremiah is the Maemo community's first official debmaster , he may actually be the first debmaster anywhere...ever. (Don't believe me? Try Googling it .) But, it's cooler than that... This means that we, the Maemo community, now have a paid employee whose sole job is to help devel... [More]

For this second installment, I'm going to focus on information slightly more relevant to regular users—interesting and, perhaps, overlooked articles in the wiki. Ad blocki... [More]
