Hi Rareș, I would like to welcome yourself and Donau to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and Donau to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Donau One feature of Donau seems to be that you have developed your own desktop for the distribution called Frauenbach. Hopefully you are willing to share more information about it with us and create a page on your website about, but in the meantime here is a video of the desktop for readers of the derivatives mailing list to take a look at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhGy42jTbo8 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 Donau. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the Donau census page, I've made a change to the Donau census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Donau?action=info Would it be possible for you to add the Donau sources.list to the wiki page? This will eventually help feed back patches and new packages to Debian developers. I note that Donau is based on Debian stretch. 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 (buster). https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/a2975757-79b9-9122-38b2-0b2c577a7f83@debian.org https://release.debian.org/#updates A great way to help ensure that the next Debian release 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://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help https://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=837 https://packages.debian.org/unstable/how-can-i-help The page says Donau uses 'Debian' as the dpkg vendor. It is important that Debian derivatives set this properly on installed systems to something other than 'Debian' and mention the value of the field in the derivatives census. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines#Vendor There doesn't appear to be an RSS feed for the Donau news page or a blog aggregator (and RSS feed) for Donau 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 Donau. https://planet.debian.org/deriv/ There doesn't appear to be Debian local group in Romania but there are a couple of Debian contributors you might be interested in meeting. https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Offers#RO https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Need#RO_-_Romania This year the annual Debian conference is in Curitiba, Brazil. It would be great if developers from Donau could attend DebConf. If this isn't possible, next year DebConf will be in Haifa, Israel. https://debconf19.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. https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/19/Volunteer https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/volunteer_roles.html Please feel free to circulate this mail within the Donau team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
