Hi arpinux, I would like to welcome yourself and HandyLinux to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and HandyLinux to us all? http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/HandyLinux It would be great if you could join our mailing list and IRC channel: http://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk I would encourage you to look at Debian's guidelines for derivatives: http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines You may want to look at our census QA page, some of the mails from there may apply to HandyLinux. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the HandyLinux census page, I've made a few changes: http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/HandyLinux?action=info The page says that HandyLinux modifies Debian binary packages. It is quite rare that distributions modify Debian binary packages. Does HandyLinux actually do this? If so could you describe what kind of modifications you are making? If not I guess the page needs to be fixed. Since HandyLinux is based in France you might be interested in joining the Debian France non-profit organisation. http://france.debian.net/ https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFrance I've added the HandyLinux blog to Planet Debian derivatives which helps the Debian community find out the things that are happening in the world of Debian derivatives. http://planet.debian.org/deriv/ This year the annual Debian conference is in Portland, OR, USA. It would be great if developers from HandyLinux could attend DebConf. http://debconf14.debconf.org/ I would encourage any attendees to volunteer to ensure the continued the success of the annual Debian conference, here are some examples of things that need helpers from last year. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/VolunteerCoordination I note that HandyLinux is based on Debian stable. The Debian release team recently released a timeline for the freeze for the next Debian stable release. I would encourage you to review it and prepare your plans for rebasing on the next Debian release (jessie). https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/12/msg00008.html I note that HandyLinux uses DebianLive, I would encourage you to provide feedback and fixes to the live team. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-live/ I note that HandyLinux uses Xfce, I would encourage you to join the Debian Xfce group. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianXfceGroup Please feel free to circulate this mail to HandyLinux folks. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
