Debian LTS Logo

Here is my transparent report for my work on the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) and Debian Extended Long Term Support (ELTS), which extend the security support for past Debian releases, as a paid contributor.

In December, the monthly sponsored hours were split evenly among contributors depending on their max availability - I was assigned 16.5h for LTS (out of 30 max) and 16.5h for ELTS (max).

This is less than usual, AFAICS due to having more team members requesting more hours (while I'm above average), and less unused hours given back (or given back too late).
