Three Year Old Complaining Of Sore Legs
Most people know that Debian is the mark of a story Love, also with a heart engraved on the bark of a tree, between Debra and Ian
( note:
Deb-Ian). A little 'less they know that Debian is an Operating System . Almost nobody, however, know that Debian is an exemplary democracy information hemisphere. There
want to talk about this reliable operating system GNU / Linux , but I want to carry out the "package" of this product to find out who's "backside".
As I have suggested, Debian is not the "usual" software but it is a Software House il singolare prodotto di un'efficace democrazia informatica fondata su una propria
Costituzione
. Costituzione
Semplificando, l'organizzazione di questa democrazia è così composta:
1
, eletto con mandato annuale; 7 membri della commissione tecnica;
circa 900
Debian Developer
;
circa 120 Debian Maintainer
;
...e milioni di utenti e volontari. dietro a Debian
c'è
c'è
able to give us an approved product by the name of "security and reliability." One of the peculiarities of this mechanism that I want to highlight is just the fourth point of the Debian Social Contract 
"We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software community. Give priority to their interests. Support the needs of our members work in many different types of computing environments. We will not object to the non-free works that have been designed for use on Debian systems and not require compensation to those who create or use these works. Allow others to create distributions containing both the Debian system that other works, without requiring compensation. To achieve these goals, we will provide an integrated system of high quality materials with no legal restrictions that any use of the system. " From these words I could finally say that Debian is the commitment of some interest for the many. is exactly what everyone would like to be a political democracy, but that no one would have thought to see it applied in a particular field such as software.
not want to bore you, as a programmer I could go on talking about Debian with angry words and an excited tone of user satisfaction, but for your health, ho pensato di far dire queste noiose parole direttamente dall'attuale Debian Project Leader : Stefano Zacchiroli , in arte Zack
.
Intervista al didietro
- Scambio di saluti nel salottino di More+
- D: Benvenuto Zack. So che sono il milionesimo intervistatore (...ho vinto qualcosa?) e so anche che il mio salottino non è accogliente, e che forse avrei dovuto almeno svuotare i cassonetti della raccolta differenziata sui quali ti ho fatto sedere, ma spero che il tener acceso il mio notebook per fare pubblicità occulta a Debian, mentre siano in diretta da questo sottoscala, possa accattivare la tua benevolenza.
- R: Senza ombra di dubbio. Inoltre trovo molto più comodi i cassonetti della raccolta differenziata che non le ormai desuete poltrone in pelle umana Fantozziane (ma non nego che l'effetto placebo possa giocare un ruolo importante nella mia preferenza tra le due ...). Ah, dimenticavo: no, non hai vinto nulla, però se proprio insisti posso assegnarti una decina di Release Critical bug da risolvere per aiutare il rilascio di Debian Squeeze , che ne dici?
- D: Beh, diciamo che se
- non mi passerete alcun codice avrete preventivamente risolto molti più
;-) Ovviamente non perderò tempo a farti le congratulazione per la tua recente nomina di “Pezzo da 90 di Debian” ( Debian Project Leader
) perché, dopo la milionesima volta, ritengo di avere il vantaggio di non sembrare ingessato con delle frasi cerimoniose. Quindi passerò subito a farti la domanda che tutti vorrebbero farti: sei italiano
, vivi a Parigi, sei appena stato eletto “presidente” e la Bruni ha da poco attraversato un momento di crisi, ritieni, dunque, che Carla possa finalmente cambiare Sistema Operativo?
R: E chi ti dice che Carlà (l'accento, da queste parti, è fondamentale!) non utilizzi
already one of the 120 or maybe Debian GNU / Linux distributions based on it? When I phoned to congratulate me, I found that long-held periodic
Linux Installation Partythat in the Élysée.
Unfortunately not all of the above paragraph is true and correct, but the penetration of free software and knowledge between
Franciliens (ie the inhabitants of ' Ile-de-France
: the region that hosts the city of Paris) is impressive when compared to my memory of knowledge of free software in the city of Bologna, who also was not a behind in Italy.
I do not want to bore readers with facts and figures, but here in "small Bari" is free software
breathe much more than in Italy. Q: I saw (unfortunately only virtually) the exhibition
Learning Science - Charm and ingenuity in the ancient instruments
in memory of your father, say it is nothing short of fascinating, learn, build and use these tools allows us to remember the great talent and skill of men. In the wake of my admiration, I could not think about IT as a science. This is a common science, undervalued and lacking charm to the user, but also lends itself well to express the talents and skills of men but, in the eyes of most, lacks consistency, it is only a clever mosaic of 1 and 0 (bit) to be used to tile the garage. Do you think it would be worth collecting the cultural sources of the software or is that the operation of our program will remain forever a mere consumable virtual?
A: First of all, congratulations for having recovered the link to the online catalog of the exhibition! Having said that we must do some 'order of science, technology and programming.
In my small way, I am a scientist in charge of information and computing science or information technology (in American English "Computer Science"). This science is much more than the mere
use of a computer (except that the degree course in Computer Italians have many difficulties as to convey their message to prospective students). The computer science is to study the fundamentals of the functioning and insuperable limits of a computer, as well as the practical techniques of how to best use it. The programming per se, is not a science, it is rather a technique, although it is undoubtedly the best known of the techniques studied by information technology.
That said, programming is created communities (geek) and gave birth to contemporary art forms. These aspects make it interesting both from a social point of view than from a cultural and artistic point of view. There is therefore need to collect source software to give them, maybe in the future, a cultural value? Absolutely. The beauty is that for now it is not explicit: it is simply already happening and it's all about the free software that made visible the hidden springs that were once (and probably lose). In this sense, free software has already helped shape the cultural heritage of the information age.
Q: Being a person who, after several operating systems, has finally settled and relaxed with Debian, I can not and I can not criticize. However, being by nature very ... (I'm looking for a synonym for elegant set) "I try to make the needle in the haystack fleas on a camel past the eye of a needle, grab the bull by the horns to tell you that Debian has an innate artistic taste bad. There, I said. There is no trace of a "hand art" in Debian, the only notable exploits is that it has replaced the progress bar
blue
OpenOffice
with a magenta (which I carried over to blue and then I'll explain how to do it ;-)). I would avoid talking about a theme of
Bootsplash
(the computer starts in graphical mode) because I do not know how to describe, perhaps because of this using the default start text. In short, because Debian is "so determined to ignore" this futile habit which many people pleasure and classics and little nerd want to project on their monitor?
A: Tsk tsk tsk, too easy. Well, let me know until it comes to technical contributions , democracy, openness and participation in Debian is good, then when you switch to graphics contributions
people complain that do not exist? And no! The software is free for all, Debian is the responsibility of everyone and what can be improved, even graphically, to be shared with everyone, including (but I would say especially) those who have no drawing skills and the donano a Debian. Pensandoci un attimo, non è per nulla sorprendente che distribuzioni supportate da aziende, e guidate con politiche aziendali, riescano meglio di Debian ad essere "belle da vedere". Per loro la bellezza estetica è una parte fondamentale del marketing, il marketing porta più utenti e più utenti portano (indirettamente) più soldi. Quindi
ha senso investire risorse (leggi: denaro in stipendi) per migliorare l'aspetto grafico della distribuzione. A: Tsk tsk tsk, too easy.

Per loro la bellezza estetica è una parte fondamentale del marketing, il marketing porta più utenti e più utenti portano (indirettamente) più soldi. Quindi
Una comunità volontaria come Debian fa marketing con modalità assolutamente
best-effort , inclusa la grafica. Se all'interno della comunità ci sono artisti che migliorano la parte grafica, allora Debian can be as "beautiful" as the commercial competitors, but if there are, this will not happen. Personally, I believe in the utility of this form of marketing and I do my best to give publicity to our initiative in this direction, for example, we recently launched Debian Squeeze Artwork Contest
. Similarly, I intend to launch a debate so you can have official members of the Debian project that lack of ability of packaging, but have drawing skills that contribute to the project. More than this, however, we can not do: to improve, we can only wait for some voluntary capacity graphic rolls up his sleeves and better graphics in Debian. Maybe you could be one of them, perhaps from bar OpenOffice!
Q: If a user wishes to express its gratitude for the wonderful product that Debian gives us, how could it? With us it is custom to pull the neck of a chicken and give it away, if so who should you send? Moreover, since the
Debian developers are more than 1000 and thighs of the chicken are only two, those that eat? In the Italian case, you can donate to Debian through '
Free Software Association, specifying the reason that the donation is for Debian. The way it used the money donated to Debian is transparent, you can follow our expenditure budgets on-line consultation of the various associations that "house" money in Debian, from page Powered by MediaWiki. debian.org / Teams / Auditor / Organizations
. In general, the most common items of expenditure in the budget of the outputs are: sponsorship for participation in conferences /
hack session
developers Debian (non c'è niente di più produttivo che raggruppare un gruppo di hacker assieme per qualche giorno, dando loro connettività Internet e caffè!) e acquisto di hardware.
Pinky Dinky Doo
c'è una Swirl?
3) Perché la coda del mio affezionato meticcio disegna una Swirl?
R: Ho accesso al libro infatti, ma purtroppo è un testo segreto, quindi cerca di capirmi: non posso rivelare troppo!
Per quanto riguarda
Pinky Dinky Doo
, non ne ho la più pallida idea (o magari non posso rivelare il
vero
motivo ...), ma la swirl di Debian è in realtà abbastanza semplice da ottenere con un programma di foto ritocco, non sarebbe la prima volta che altre entità generano per caso (dicono loro ...) la nostra swirl.
Per quanto riguarda invece Buzz, rumors dicono che sia un tributo /

easter egg di
Pixar a Debian a seguito della nostra scelta di
naming delle release Debian
; non a caso Bruce Perens ( Debian Project Leader emerito) fu un programmatore di punta nel team Pixar che sviluppò Toy Story 2 . (Io chiaramente so per certo la fondatezza o meno di tali rumors, ma non è che possa rivelarli così, senza che almeno una trentina di
Release Critical Bug siano risolti in cambio dell'informazione!)
D: Grazie Zack per aver onorato questo salottino. Spero che dopo questo scambio costruttivo di parole tu possa assaggiare la coscia del pollo di un utente and we discover that the next
A: It will certainly be the case, thanks to your artistic contributions and all other Debian-artists and enthusiasts who have followed this interview!
