Hamara Linux

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.
