Hi Shaxer, I would like to welcome yourself and Cyborg Linux to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and Cyborg Linux to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/CyborgLinux 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 Cyborg Linux. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the Cyborg Linux census page, I've made a few changes to the page: http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/CyborgLinux?action=info I note that Cyborg Linux is based on Ubuntu. Are you planning on a transition to being based on Debian? Are you sure you meant to join the Debian derivatives census? The page says that Cyborg Linux modifies Debian binary packages. It is quite rare that distributions modify Debian binary packages. Does Cyborg Linux 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. Would it be possible for you to add the Cyborg Linux sources.list to the wiki page? This will eventually help feed back patches and new packages to Debian developers. If you aren't customising any packages or creating new source packages this isn't necessary. The page is missing a dpkg vendor field. It is important that Debian derivatives set this properly on installed systems and mention the value of the field in the derivatives census. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines#Vendor I've added the Cyborg Linux 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/ Next year the annual Debian conference is in Heidelberg, Germany. It would be great if developers from Cyborg Linux could attend DebConf. If this isn't possible, there is always the year after :) http://debconf15.debconf.org/ I would encourage Ztrela Knowledge Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (the Cyborg Linux corporate sponsor) to contribute financially to ensure the continued survival of Debian and the success of the annual Debian conference. http://www.debian.org/donations http://debconf.org/sponsors/ http://debconf15.debconf.org/become-sponsor.xhtml 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. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/VolunteerCoordination I note there are two other security related Debian derivatives called Kali Linux and Matriux, have you considered collaborating or merging with them? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Kali https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Matriux I note that Cyborg Linux has forensics capabilities, I would encourage you to provide feedback and fixes to the Debian forensics team. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianForensics You might want to consider adding DNSSEC to your domains, TLSA records and SSL to some of your domains. SSL on the repository will help Cyborg Linux users to obscure package names and version numbers from global active adversaries. You might also want to add HSTS headers. http://cyborg.ztrela.com/ Please feel free to circulate this mail within the Cyborg Linux team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
