Dunc-Tank To Help Meet Debian Etch Deadline

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later dept.

Da Massive writes, "Debian GNU/Linux is experimenting with a new project called Dunc-Tank, which is aimed at securing funding to pay two key release managers — Steve Langasek and Andi Barth — in an effort to ensure the forthcoming Debian 4.0, known as etch, is released on time in December." Dunc-Tank is not affiliated with the Debian Project directly, and in fact was controversial on the debian-private list.

    I am sure paying these folk will get this Debian release out on time. Money always motivates people to work harder and faster.. and it always makes sure a deadline will be met...
