The new versions of libjpeg and libpng required a rebuild of all dependent
packages. The libjpeg/libpng rebuilds are now complete and are moving from
[testing] into the main repos. Due to the large number of rebuilds required,
packages will take a while to propagate to the mirrors. It is advisable to check
the state of your mirror before updating
([https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus][1]). Remember to check your
unofficial packages (AUR and third party repos) for required rebuilds.

Two prominent community members, Dusty and ralvez have been working hard to
bring Arch Linux it's very own conference. ArchCon 2010 will take place in
Toronto, Canada's largest city, on July 22 and 23. Registration is now open at
[http://archcon.archlinux.ca/][1] and more information can be found on the
ArchCon site at [http://archlinux.ca/archcon2010/][2]. ArchCon will feature
talks and tutorials from prominent community members and plenty of interactive
discussions, development sprints, bug squashing sessions, and, of course,
socializing. Earlybird registration ends on February 28th. Those who register
early will be doing the organizers a huge favour by helping estimate the number
of attendees, and to finance initial costs.

By popular demand, the next Bug Day will be on Saturday 2/6. People are usually
around all day, but you will certainly find us in the #archlinux-bugs IRC forum
in the afternoon and evening EST. There's a job for everyone! Come help out
however you can.

This weekend on January 23rd, [Hacklab.CL][1] is organizing an event called
[Arch Linux Orphan's Day][2]. This event will consist of talks and presentations
about Arch Linux packaging, covering the Packaging Guidelines, the AUR,
complementary tools, and much more. The event concludes with a review of the AUR
orphan packages and, hopefully, some new maintainers. This will happen at
["KernelHouse"][3] (Antonia lopez de bello 157-A), in Santiago de Chile.
