Hi Israel, I would like to welcome yourself and ToriOS to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and ToriOS to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/ToriOS It would be great if you could join our mailing list and IRC channel: 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 ToriOS. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the ToriOS census page, I've made a few changes to the ToriOS census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/ToriOS?action=info The page says that ToriOS modifies some packages but doesn't say if it modifies binary packages or source packages. Could you clarify that? Would it be possible for you to add the ToriOS sources.list to the wiki page? This will eventually help feed back patches and new packages to Debian developers. 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 ToriOS 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/ ToriOS folks might be interested in joining the Debian local groups from around the world. https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups Next year the annual Debian conference is in Montreal, Canada. It would be great if developers from ToriOS could attend DebConf. If this isn't possible, next year DebConf will be in either Taiwan or Brasil. http://debconf17.debconf.org/ https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18 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 that ToriOS 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 (stretch). https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20161105202425.AC42F1F6@bendel.debian.org A great way to help ensure that the next Debian release working well is to install and run the how-can-i-help tool and try to work on any issues that come up. http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=837 https://packages.debian.org/unstable/how-can-i-help https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help 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 ToriOS users to obscure package names and version numbers from global active adversaries. You might also want to add HSTS headers. Please feel free to circulate this mail within the ToriOS team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
