Hi Aurélien, I would like to welcome yourself and Volumio to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and Volumio to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Volumio It would be great if you could fill as many of the fields on your census page as you have data for. 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 Volumio. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the Volumio census page, I've made a few changes to the Volumio census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Volumio?action=info Would it be possible for you to add the Volumio sources.list to the wiki page? This will eventually help feed back patches and new packages to Debian developers. I note that Volumio is based on Debian stable. 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 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 Volumio blog to Planet Debian derivatives which helps the Debian community find out the things that are happening in the world of Debian derivatives. https://planet.debian.org/deriv/ Since Volumio is based in Italy you might be interested in joining one of the local Debian groups in Italy. https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups#Italy Next year the annual Debian conference is in Haifa, Israel. It would be great if developers from Volumio could attend DebConf. If this isn't possible, the following year DebConf could be in India, Sweden, Kosovo or Portugal. https://debconf20.debconf.org/ https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/21 I would encourage the Volumio company 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://debconf20.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.debian.org/DebConf/19/Volunteer https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/volunteer_roles.html If any future Volumio company paid positions are about contributing to FLOSS projects, you could advertise them on FOSSjobs. If any of the future positions are related to using or contributing to Debian, you could advertise them on debian-jobs. If any of them involve the use of FLOSS, you might like to advertise them on the other FLOSS related job aggregators. In addition, one of the perks for DebConf sponsors is a presence at the job fair. https://www.fossjobs.net/ https://lists.debian.org/debian-jobs/ https://github.com/fossjobs/fossjobs/wiki/resources#job-aggregators https://debconf20.debconf.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor/ I note that Volumio uses multistrap and I believe that it is obsoleted by mmdebstrap, I would encourage you to migrate to that and pass any feedback you have on the migration along to the maintainer. I note that Volumio uses some non-x86 architectures, I would encourage you to provide help porting Debian to those architectures. https://www.debian.org/ports/ https://wiki.debian.org/Ports Please feel free to circulate this mail within the Volumio team. -- bye, pabsVolumio https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
