Hi Mark, I would like to welcome yourself and ubilinux to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and ubilinux to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/ubilinux 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 ubilinux. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the ubilinux census page, I've made a few changes to the ubilinux census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/ubilinux?action=info I found it difficult to download ubilinux, it would be great if that was possible to do without JavaScript being enabled. The "Debian derivative model" field is still at the default, it would be great if that could be filled out, it helps other folks understand how ubilinux derivation process works. Would it be possible for you to add the ubilinux 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 would like to suggest that Emutex add a ubilinux tag to posts that are about or mention ubilinux. If the resulting tag page had an RSS feed, then that could be syndicated on Planet Debian derivatives and would help the Debian community find out news about ubilinux. https://emutex.com/about-us/news/ http://planet.debian.org/deriv/ Since ubilinux is based in Ireland you might be interested in joining the Debian group in Dublin. https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups#Ireland This year the annual Debian conference is in Montreal, Canada. It would be great if developers from ubilinux could attend DebConf17. If this isn't possible, next year DebConf will be in Hsinchu, Taiwan. https://debconf17.debconf.org/ I would encourage Emutex (the ubilinux corporate sponsor) to contribute financially to ensure the continued survival of Debian and the success of the annual Debian conference. https://www.debian.org/donations https://debconf.org/sponsors/ https://debconf17.debconf.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor/ 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 ubilinux is based on Debian unstable. A great way to help ensure that it is working well is to install and run the how-can-i-help tool and try to work on any issues that come up. https://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=837 https://packages.debian.org/unstable/how-can-i-help https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help I note that your description of ubilinux mentions some Linux kernel patches, I would encourage your developers to work on getting those patches included upstream in the Linux kernel mainline: https://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge Please note that LXDE is being replaced with LXQt. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/LXQtPackagingTeam You might want to consider adding DNSSEC and TLSA records to your domains. You might also want to add HTTP security headers. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Guidelines/Web_Security Please feel free to circulate this mail within the ubilinux team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
