I have created wiki pages to facilitate the drafting of our additions
to www.debian.org.
* http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/www.d.o-draft
* http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/www.d.o-draft/philoshphy
In the "philosphy" page (for which a better name may be found), I have pasted
the analogy from Paul's email.
I think that it would be nicely complemented by a final paragraph
explaining how Debian support the use of Free software at various
levels of trust in the cloud systems. Something like the following ?
"The Debian project supports and promotes the use of Free software at every
level of the trust chain. The software we distribute is split between the
main, contrib and non-free sections so that our users can not depend on
non-free firmware without noticing it. Debian is the universal operating
system, which can operate a network infrastructure, virtualised hardware, cloud
systems, remote services, and the client systems that access them."
This misses Free hardware. Do we distribute packages that are related to the
conception and production of free hardware ?
