Adapt Learning Suite
As part of the Debian Academy [1], we are currently using Moodle [2] and also Adapt [3] to help create courses. So far I have just had a look at this, but I have found a training guide [4] and was sent a YouTube [5] by David B. So should, with help be able to come up with some ideas for courses.
The idea of Debian Academy, is to help more people in to contributing to Debian, by introducing how to get involved, from packaging, testing. bug reporting and mentoring and much more.
If you are interested in joining please e-mail the team from the Wiki page [1] or join us on IRC – #debian-academy on oftc [6]

The Debian project is pleased to announce the ninth update of its stable

adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for
serious problems. Security advisories have already been published

Debian Testing Feb 2021
I decided to have a go at upgrading a netbook Debian 10 to Debian 11. Buster –> Bullseye.
I am following the instructions found at [3]. I have also included links to release notes for both the current and next version.
Upgrade seemed to go well. However I seem to be having networking issue, so am investigating further,

20.04.2 LTS
Lubuntu 20.04.2, has been relesed, this is the lastest of the LTS (Long Term Support) updates for the system. You can find more info on the blog page.
Lubuntu is a derivative of the Ubuntu Operating system which in turn is built on Debian. Links in the list below.
Lubuntu is great for both low and high specification systems, and can help bring new life to old hardware, which given the number of people without devices could be a really effective way to help bridge the digital divide.
Organizations such as the good thing foundation help to build digital skills, sadly this does not cover fully free and open source software, let alone decentralized social media networks such as Mastodon.
There is no reason why LibreOffice can't be taught and promoted along side MS Office.
The more people to ASK for support with things like Lubuntu etc they will hopefully eventually provide the choice and associated support for alternatives.
