+Final call for neuroscience research software in Debian 7.0
+===========================================================
+
+*** FREEZE IN SUMMER 2012 ***
+
+There are only few weeks left till the Debian project will freeze its *testing*
+suite in preparation for the upcoming release of Debian 7.0 (wheezy).  This
+freeze will most likely happen in June 2012. If the Debian packages of your
+favorite neuroscience research software are not yet up-to-date -- or worse,
+there are no packages in Debian yet -- it is time to act **NOW**!
+
+Software (updates) that do not get uploaded within the next two to three weeks
+are in danger of not making it into the release candidate in time before the
+freeze. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be a chance to get into the
+flagship of free and open source operation systems for a couple of *years*...
+
+Get in touch with your local Debian developer to discuss what can still be done.
