Free Software

Free from some limits (maybe not money!)
Choice → Control → Independence

FLOSS

Free/Libre Open Source Software
Free/Libre: Freedom Fighters wanting to share
Open Source: Business folks wanting to trade
Like "peace": we all want it, but at different cost

FLOSS things

Hardware
Firmware
Kernel (like "Linux")
System tools
Desktop elements
Applications
Translations
Documentation
Beautification
Explanation

FLOSS people

Hardcore technicians
Simple technicians
Data organizers
Designers
Politicians
Business folks
Patient users
Impatient users
Testers (very patient users)
Cheerleeders

Debian - distro & community

Distribution
Community
Free!

Debian - Universal Operating System

Generic - choices are exposed to the user
Mother of other distros
Social and political project, not only technical - e.g. DFSG
Strong structure, preferrably flat

Debian packages

Packages = components
Mozilla Iceweasel (Firefox): ~3 packages (+ ~70 lang packages)
OpenOffice.org: ~30 packages (+ ~90 lang packages)
Debian: ~30.000 packages

Debian - Mentors + sponsoring

Peer review - many eyes see more bugs
Education - Debian quality standards
Ideals transfer - get help on packaging
debian-mentors mailinglist
#debian-mentors IRC channel
http://mentors.debian.net/ site

Debian in Việt Nam

Only one package maintainer
Easy to contribute (but weak recognition of non-packaging)

Ubuntu - Debian simplified + beautified

Great way to start
Bad way to continue

Freedoms & True independence

Google, Facebook, Twitter distorts through populism
Truth is not singular - the real world is complex
Simplifications are like stories: only shadows of dangerous

FreedomBox Project

Wifi internet gateway
Personal, independent "shadow" of the world
