<listitem><para>The <ulinkurl="http://www.julieandian.com/writing/82howto/">DB2 8.2 HOWTO</ulink> by Ian Hakes is ready for a first review. There is also a <ulinkurl="http://www.julieandian.com/writing/82howto/db2LinuxHowToV8_definitive_5.pdf">pdf version of this DB2 8.2 HOWTO</ulink> available. Ian says: This HOWTO is intended for anyone interested in installing and using DB2 UDB on Linux. The information found in this document is based on the experience I had as an information developer at IBM installing and configuring DB2 UDB Version 8.2 on Red Hat 8 and SuSE Pro 8 (DB2 supports way more distributions, and I hope to include more information on these distributions in the future). </para></listitem>
<listitem><para>As a reminder, we'd like to point out that a list of new proposals can be found at <ulinkurl="http://tldp.org/authors/inprogress.html"/>. As you can see, we are still in need of volunteers to help with the review process; particularly, people with a technical background and an interest in any of the listed subjects of the <quote>In Progress</quote> documents, and good English speakers with an affinity for the subjects for the language reviews.</para></listitem>

<para>John Buswell informs us about connectivity problems with the <ulinkurl="http://ldp.splicednetworks.com">Athens, Ohio</ulink> mirror, because of a move they have done. Presumably, the problems will be resolved by the second half of next month. Meanwhile, maybe it is best to switch to another <ulinkurl="http://tldp.org/mirrors.html#usa">Ohio mirror</ulink> to be sure you are reading the latest versions of our documents.</para>
<para>Thrassivoulos Kalantzis informed us about a change in the URL of his mirror, update your bookmarks to use <ulinkurl="http://ldp.gr-linux.net/"/> instead of <ulinkurl="http://www.gr-linux.net/LDP"/>.</para>
