+<b>The logo results are in</b>: The 
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/vote/1999/raul-0.gif">Swirl logo</a> is the

+<a href="http://themes.org/banners/debian_banner.gif">banner ad</a> at the
+top of <a href="http://www.themes.org/">themes.org</a>. Even a

+theme</a> based on the logo and 
+<a href="http://www.spinnaker.de/debian/logo/">scalable postscript</a>
+versions of the logo are available now. But this saga isn't
+over yet: a

+maintainer or even for a dinstall and mirror run. This should get important

+-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
+
+We have received reports that the version of the imap suite
+in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has a vulnerability in its POP-2 daemon,
+which can be found in the ipopd package. Using this vulnerability
+it is possible for remote users to get a shell as user "nobody"
+on the server.
+
+We recommend you upgrade your ipopd package immediately.
+
+wget url

+
+Linus Torvalds to Headline Benefit Dinner for Debian Project
+
+Linuxcare, VA Linux Systems to Sponsor Event at Upcoming BALUG
+Meeting
+
+June 7, 1999  Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux operating
+system, will headline a benefit dinner for the Debian Project,
+developers of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, on Tuesday, June
+15, at the monthly meeting of the Bay Area Linux Users
+Group (BALUG).
+
+The dinner will be held at the Four Seas Restaurant in San
+Francisco's Chinatown district; reservation and other information
+can be found at http://www.balug.org/. Because seating is
+limited, guests are urged to register early using the BALUG
+Web site. Contributions to the benefit, which also covers the
+cost of the meal exclusive of beverages, are $10 per person. 
+
+The Debian Project is an international group of Open Source
+software developers who collectively produce Debian GNU/Linux,
+one of the major distributions of the Linux operating system.
+Unlike other Linux distributors, such as Red Hat Software, the
+Debian Project is wholly non-profit.
+
+"The Debian Project perfectly exemplifies the spirit of Open
+Source development," Torvalds said. "Debian's non-commercial
+Linux distribution shows again that Internet-enabled, cooperative
+software development can produce software of the very highest
+quality." 
+
+Two Linux industry leaders--Linuxcare, Inc., and VA Linux
+Systems--are co-sponsoring the Debian benefit in coordination
+with BALUG. The two companies will underwrite a $10 contribution
+to the Debian Project for every person who attends the June 15
+dinner; at least several hundred persons are anticipated to be on
+hand. The Debian Project (http://www.debian.org) operates under
+the auspices of Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI), a
+non-profit, 501(c) corporation. SPI can be found on the Web at
+http://www.spi-inc.org/.
+
+About BALUG
+
+The Bay Area Linux Users Group, founded in 1994, is one of the
+oldest Linux Users Groups (LUGs) in the United States. BALUG
+pursues a vigorous agenda of Linux advocacy activities, including
+regular Installfests and special educational seminars and other
+events. Most recently, BALUG sponsored a special presentation on
+the Samba Open Source software suite by key developers Andrew
+Tridgell and Jeremy Allison, and helped support the successful
+Windows Refund Day activities in February 1999. The BALUG
+membership meets every third Tuesday of the month at the Four
+Seas Restaurant in San Francisco. Visit http://www.balug.org/ for
+more information.
