44 <li><strong>4 November 2009 - New Cooking 20091104</strong>
45 <p>SliTaz contributors are proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
46 ISO image based on over 2100 packages available in the SliTaz repository.
47 The full system has been rebuilt with a new toolchain using Glibc 2.10.1
48 and GCC 4.4.1. This new Cooking uses the Linux kernel 2.6.30.6 with better
49 hardware support and more built-in modules. The boot process has been further
50 improved and the boot time is now faster than ever. Major packages found on
51 the LiveCD such as Firefox have been updated to the current stable version.
52 Home-made GUI boxes have been enhanced. Tazpkg packages manager supports new
53 features including the conversion of deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to
54 Slitaz native format. The ISO image includes a new Openbox, GTK and icons
55 theme for an elegant and more beautiful desktop. We have also removed
56 ePDFview and switched to an online PDF viewer. This ISO image, however,
57 is a bit bigger than 30 Mb (31.5) due to a bigger Kernel and many new
58 dependencies.</p>
59 <p>We would also like to announce that the SliTaz project has a new
60 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">support forum</a> and a new
61 <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">community platform</a> where
62 everyone is welcome to share and to get involved! This new Cooking ISO
63 is as always downloadable from the website download section:

67 <li><strong>19 May 2009 - SliTaz at LinuxDays 2009 (Geneva)</strong>
68 <p>
69 During the LinuxDays show in Switzerland, the association will have a
70 booth in the Association Village and a lecture will be given on Wednesday
71 morning. The lecture is a case study with a corporate view based on using a
72 "SliTaz Business Server" with a switchboard, integrated ERP, mail, LDAP,
73 etc...
74 </p>
75 <p>
76 During the 3 days, the exhibition stand will be manned by members
77 of the SliTaz project. The booth will offer demonstrations, including the
78 creation of bootable USB keys (LiveUSB) and cdroms. The LinuxDays LiveCD
79 will contain a selection of software designed for mobile
80 use. The exhibition lounge will also have a forum and we will gladly answer
81 any questions. So feel free to visit us! Information can be found on
82 <a href="http://labs.slitaz.org/wiki/events/2009-linuxdays">SliTaz Labs</a>
83 and the <a href="http://2009.linuxdays.ch/">2009.linuxdays.ch</a> website.

99 of USB and PCI devices, a GUI package manager and control center, and various

101 bootable LiveCD flavors is also simplified and greatly improved. The core
102 LiveCD includes Firefox 3.0.8, gFTP, LostIRC, ePDFView, mtPaint, Transmission,
103 Osmo and Alsaplayer. The website documentation has been updated and you can read the
