+# Hamara Linux
+
+[[!meta date="2015-12-22"]]
+[[!tag debian blog]]
+
+Siri and I are on a journey through India and Nepal,
+with the aim of learning about needs of Debian derivatives,
+to improve Debian and encourage closer integration.
+
+
+## Distribution
+
+Hamara Linux is a distribution based on Trisquel,
+hence descending from Debian via Ubuntu.
+
+Next release will be a direct derivative of Debian.
+
+We recommended to package missing parts for Debian itself,
+even if Hamara needs them faster than deemed "stable" in Debian.
+ITP bugreports is since filed for theming and installer.
+
+
+## Visual design
+
+Hamara Linux ships with a coherent visual style,
+covering widget theming,
+install processes,
+boot and login,
+and a range of wallpapers.
+
+Siri has begun comparing widget theming against Debian.
+We might try distill diffs for each Debian→Ubuntu→Trisquel→Hamara derivation.
+
+
+## System contents and setup
+
+Hamara Linux comes in two flavors:
+Hamara Namaste with a GNOME desktop,
+and Hamara Sugam with an Lxde desktop.
+
+I have begun decomposing the package sets
+into classes for Boxer,
+at the same time extending Boxer.
