[please keep me in CC as I'm not subscribed] Hi all, attached the draft of the upcoming press release about Debian on public clouds: it'd be great if you could review it. Particularly, I'd need two things: 1) the correct links for Amazon and Azure images 2) a quote from representatives of both Amazon and Azure. We'd like to send this out next Tuesday (19th) so the text should be frozen on Saturday (16th) in order to give translators time to do their job. Thanks in advance, Francesca for the Debian press team -- "Goddamn, another summer in the city and I never seen a girl look so pretty as you When you smile oh you're wild for a while I was hoping I might see you again" Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, It's A Wonderful Life

As a free software project, we care deeply about the freedom of our users and we recommend to them to run their own private clouds whenever possible. </p> <p> While we recommend running your own cloud, we do understand that private cloud it's not an option for many Debian users who, for a variety of reasons, need to rely on public cloud offerings. And it is thinking to those users that we decided to offer Debian images on public clouds. As for now, those images are available for two populare providers: <a href="...">Amazon EC2</a> and <a href="...">Microsoft Azure</a>.</p> ## FIXME: ^^^^ links of images ## possible quote from Amazon and Azure people goes here. <p> The Debian Project does not endorse any specific public cloud rather, with the help of our community, we would like to support potential Debian users on a variety of providers, as long as the images could be made entirely free and built using entirely free tools. If you want to help, or simply to know more about this effort, you can subscribe to the <a href="lists.debian.org/debian-cloud">debian-cloud mailing list</a> and contribute to its activities. Any bug related to cloud images should be reported against the <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cloud.debian.org";><tt>cloud.debian.org</tt> pseudopackage</a>. </p> <h2>About Debian</h2> <p> The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly free community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of volunteers from all over the world work together to create and maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the <q>universal operating system</q>. </p> <h2>Contact Information</h2> <p>For further information, please visit the Debian web pages at <a href="$(HOME)/">http://www.debian.org/</a> or send mail to <press@debian.org>.</p>
