+Since October of 2002, [HP](http://www.hp.com/go/linux) has sponsored a 
+"corporate subscription" to [LWN](http://lwn.net) on behalf of Debian, and
+I recently renewed the subscription through April of 2011.  
+
+As of this moment, 571 Debian Developers and Debian Maintainers are enabled 
+to take advantage of this subscription.
+
+From discussion on IRC this morning, I gather one recent change hasn't been
+adequately communicated:  I now allow Debian Maintainers to access the 
+subscription.  The process remains unchanged:
+
+If you are a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer and want full LWN access
+at HP's expense, just go to lwn.net and create an account for yourself (no 
+money is required to create a user account).  Then, send email to 
+
+	lwn-subscription@debian.org 
+
+containing your LWN account name.  Sign this email with your key on the
+appropriate Debian keyring.  Then, exercise patience.  Eventually, I will 
+process your request, and add you to the "Debian Project group" and send 
+you an email acknowledgement.  
+
+Likewise, if you retire from being a DD or DM, please let me know at the same
+address so that I can take you off the Debian subscription.
+
+I believe I've caught up on all pending requests, but sometimes things get
+mis-filed, so if you're still waiting and I haven't replied, please re-send 
+your request.
