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
