+ <description><p>The Debian Lego team saw a lot of activity the last few weeks. All
+the packages under the team umbrella has been updated to fix
+packaging, lintian issues and BTS reports. In addition, a new and
+inspiring team member appeared on both the
+<a href="https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-lego-team">debian-lego-team
+Team mailing list</a> and
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-lego">IRC channel
+#debian-lego</a>. If you are interested in Lego CAD design and LEGO
+Minestorms programming, check out the
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/LegoDesigners">team wiki page</a> to
+see what Debian can offer the Lego enthusiast.</p>
+
+<p>Patches has been sent upstream, causing new upstream releases, one
+even the first one in more than ten years, and old upstreams was
+released with new ones. There are still a lot of work left, and the
+team welcome more members to help us make sure Debian is the Linux
+distribution of choice for Lego builders. If you want to contribute,
+join us in the IRC channel and become part of
+<a href="https://salsa.debian.org/debian-lego-team/">the team on
+Salsa</a>.</p>

- <description><p>After a lot of hard work by its maintainer Alexandre Viau and
-others, the decentralized communication platform
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software)">Jami</a>
-(earlier known as Ring), managed to get
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring">its latest version</a>
-into Debian Testing. Several of its dependencies has caused build and
-propagation problems, which all seem to be solved now.</p>
-
-<p>In addition to the fact that Jami is decentralized, similar to how
-bittorrent is decentralized, I first of all like how it is not
-connected to external IDs like phone numbers. This allow me to set up
-computers to send me notifications using Jami without having to find
-get a phone number for each computer. Automatic notification via Jami
-is also made trivial thanks to the provided client side API (as a DBus
-service). Here is my bourne shell script demonstrating how to let any
-system send a message to any Jami address. It will create a new
-identity before sending the message, if no Jami identity exist
-already:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-# Usage: $0 <jami-address> <message>
-#
-# Send <message> to <jami-address>, create local jami account if
-# missing.
-#
-# License: GPL v2 or later at your choice
-# Author: Petter Reinholdtsen

-fi

-# First, get dbus running if not already running

-PIDFILE=/run/asterisk/dbus-session.pid

- if ! kill -0 $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID 2>/dev/null ; then
- unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
- fi
-fi
-if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ] && [ -x "$DBUSLAUNCH" ]; then
- DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=$HOME/.dbus"
- dbus-daemon --session --address="$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" --nofork --nopidfile --syslog-only < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 3>&1 &
