Hi Joshua, I would like to welcome yourself and hLinux to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and hLinux to us all? I expect some people will be familiar with it due to the hLinxu presence at DebConf14 but others may not be. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/hLinux I see you've joined our IRC channel and assume you joined the list too: https://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk I would encourage you to look at Debian's guidelines for derivatives: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines You may want to look at our census QA page, some of the mails from there may apply to hLinux. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA I'd encourage you to subscribe to the hLinux census page if you haven't. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/hLinux The page says that hLinux modifies Debian binary packages. It is quite rare that distributions modify Debian binary packages instead of modifying source packages and rebuilding them. Does hLinux 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. 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 There doesn't appear to be a hLinux blog or a blog aggregator for hLinux developers. If these existed they would be syndicated on Planet Debian derivatives and would help the Debian community find out the things that are happening in hLinux. http://planet.debian.org/deriv/ I'd like to thank HP (the hLinux corporate sponsor) for being a major sponsor of DebConf15, I expect some hLinux folks will be attending? http://debconf15.debconf.org/sponsors.xhtml http://debconf15.debconf.org/registration.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 would encourage you and the hLinux team to get involved in Debian's OpenStack and Cloud efforts if you aren't already. https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud https://wiki.debian.org/OpenStack You might want to consider adding DNSSEC to hp.com, TLSA records and SSL to some of your domains. You might also want to add HSTS headers. Currently the hLinux website has an invalid SSL cert and the HP website redirects from HTTPS to HTTP. Please feel free to circulate this mail within the hLinux team & HP. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
