20230722 1804 UTC - All signed, all pushed, all done.

So it's there on  Download on the Debian web site.

Thanks to the folk who've done this point release testing. No new major bugs found: a couple of pre-existing ones may still be there.

Thanks very much indeed to the new people who have been in IRC on debian-cd, downloading, testing, editing the wiki page.

This release has gone very well indeed - I'll see some of the same folk at the BBQ in late August but otherwise we'll be back in September or so for the next point release for Bookworm (and probably a release for Bullseye as well).

Now trying various tricks with Raspberry Pi 4s to get them to boot with UEFI and the standard Debian installer.

20230722 1436 - Happily chunking through release tests

Lots of tests being tried and passing. The usual bits of finger trouble / misreading the wiki.

 People are settling into the rhythm. Almost all of the tests for the standard .iso files are done and we're well into testing live images.

 All's good

20230722 - Releasing Debian testing for Debian Bookworm point release 12.1

And so we're back at Steve's in Cambridge for release testing.

 A few testers here: we're now well into testing the various iso images.

So we have Sledge, RattusRattus, Isy, smcv and myself. We've also been joined here by Helen who has just done her first install.  

Online we've got a couple of new folk - luna, The_Blode. Thanks to everyone involved - we always need all the help we can get.

Cold and grey outside: usual warmth in here.  Also the usual snake of cables to trip over across the floor.
