Dear all, I have been writing some beginner articles in my spare-time to talk/share about Debian and make it more popular.
In that direction I have and had been penning few articles at https://itsfoss.com/author/shirish/ As shared before, these are beginner articles and are meant only to bring awareness about Debian to the masses. Just a few days back, Debian turned 24 https://bits.debian.org/2017/08/debian-turns-24.html While I have been thinking about sharing the number of packages, the number of developers, the diversity, the debconf's and where debconfs have been held over the years for starters but all of these I have already shared before. I saw hartmann's article on p.d.o. the other day http://hartmans.livejournal.com/96841.html and I started pondering about some of the lesser unknown innovative ideas of debian which people don't know about. For e.g. the reproducible builds project https://reproducible-builds.org/ seems to have a lot of weight and faith of DD's but is not known at all (or maybe some slightly bit) outside the technical circles. Are there any such unsung technical/non-technical or social innovations that Debian has done that is now known/or lesser known which Debianities should know about and be proud about. Having more Debian fanboys should also increase both participation and contribution to Debian. As far as fact-checking goes, can anybody share about Debian and Kali Linux relationship in bit more detail. AFAIK Raphaël Hertzog is one of the main developers and there has been lot of symbiotic relationship between the two projects but how much both projects have benefited from this partnership has not been codified or told/shared anywhere AFAIK. The only thing I could get is https://docs.kali.org/policy/kali-linux-relationship-with-debian which seems to be pretty dry and short as far as documentation goes. Looking forward to knowing more. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
