Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering.
Debian project funding
In February Raphaël and the LTS worked on a survey of Debian developers meant to solicit ideas for improvements in the Debian project at large. You can see the results of the initial discussion here in the list of ideas of which there are already over 30.
The full survey is due to be emailed to Debian Developers shortly.
In February € 2250 was put aside to fund Debian projects.
