This actually still exists; it's just been renamed, to reflect the fact that it wasn't being mailed out on a weekly basis anymore (partly because of lack of available person-power for the purpose, partly I think because there wasn't actually always enough news available to report that often). It's currently called "Debian Project News". According to my archives, the first issue with that name was mailed out on April 21st, 2008 (after a nine-month gap from the previous issue of Debian Weekly News, on July 3rd, 2007). The latest issue was mailed out on August 28th, announcing the end of DebConf 21. There have been well over 200 issues mailed out over the course of that period. See https://www.debian.org/News/ and in particular (linked to from there) https://lists.debian.org/debian-news/ for what there is of this. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
