Want to follow along with the release as it goes live?
Follow us on https://micronews.debian.org for live updates. I may if time is willing do some updates here as well with some background behind the scenes stuff.
The forums have an IRC channel as well on OFTC, #debian-forums if some of you wish to chat as the process goes along.

Thank you for keeping us up to date. Anxiously awaiting the release. Right now I'm on Arch, but I will use Debian again as my main system and will do a fresh install once the images of the stable bookworm come out.
The archive software is preparing the package indexes and release files for bookworm as stable #ReleasingDebianBookworm
