I have updated my presentation on Debian to try and reflect the changes in Debian 13 (Trixie).

I have listed the new versions of many packages, based on the information in the Trixie release notes, I have tried to split this list into categories and listed on separate slides.

This is made available via salsa GitLab, so feel free to clone and modify, if you want to contribute, I would suggest forking, so a team can work on it, I am really not that good at git, so struggle a little with pull requests etc.

I have also uploaded to my gopher space.

Hopefully, this will be useful.

Intro

I last updated my Mastodon Presentation in 2020, I have been working on a new version using Overleaf and the LaTeX typesetting system.

I have tried to make sure it is clear what both the Fediverse is, what Mastodon is and how Mastodon fits within the Fediverse.

The old version, written in LibreOffice Inpress is here.

The new version is here

New version uses

• Overleaf Online editor
• LaTex + Beamer
• External assets e.g graphics
• main.tex

You can clone this in the usual way

git clone https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/mastodonpresentation2024

I am still not very good at using git, and there is little in the way of support within Torbay at the moment.

With Debian 13 (Trixie) in development, I am now working on updating my previous presentation to reflect updates in the new release.

Early days yet, but I will share updates in due course.

This is early work in progress. A few years ago, I made a presentation to help promote Mastodon social network. As this is part of the Fediverse, it is much preferred to refer to the Fediverse rather than individual services that make it up so I have created a new presentation to focus on explaining what the Fediverse is.

I can't cover all the services, but have mentioned the services I am using.

• Fediverse Presentation

It is in open document format, or in this case LibreOffice Impress (.odp), and also in Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Hopefully it is of interest and of use, feel free to modify to your needs.

If you want the old Mastodon Presentation then it can be found on Salsa gitlan here

I have updated my Debian Presentation again for Bookworm (Debian 12). This has been pushed to the salsa repository.

I compiled this with

pdflatrex DebianBookwormPresentationMay2021.tex

Hopefully this is useful. Information mostly based on the release notes but also on other sources. In general I am on IRC as zleap so can be found on both OFTC and Libera.chat. I am also on fedi as zleap ( @zleap@qoto.org )

Now that the release notes are available for the next release of the Debian Operating system. I have started to update the presentation that I have been maintaining for the past few releases.

I am also taking some parts of this out and replacing with more technical information. The slides can easily be moved around. added or removed.

A few years ago, I found that there was not an up-to-date presentation for the upcoming release of Debian at the time. I therefore set about creating one.

This is now an ongoing project, my personal remit is to keep this updated by researching information about the upcoming release(s) of Debian. The next release is Debian 11 (Bullseye) as this is now frozen then I am working on the update.

Presentation is in Beamer, which is a LaTeX package for creating presentations. I am however using Overleaf to create the document.

I am on IRC (oftc) as zleap if anyone wants to discuss further. I will also be at the DebConf Planning meeting on the 24th.
