Because I am bad at promoting my projects :-/
The Tinker project was born during a journey through India by my partner
and I: https://couchdesign.dk/india/
We were meeting Linux hackers all over India with a special interest in
learning about desktop and distribution customizations - what was
adapted and why. In Kerala we met Cherry, a NetBSD developer and
electronics hacker who contrary to most others we met had little
interest in specific looks and behaviour of a graphical desktop but
instead asked into the options and quality of tinker tools available in
Debian.
I am no expert on electronics hacking myself, but want to help support
different customization needs, so I formed the tinker project and
drafted what I imagine could attract tinkeres - people wanting a system
for tinkering with other systems or with the main system itself.
DebianTinker uses Boxer, a tool I am developing to help do Debian Pure
(and dirty) Blends: Track package relationships and tweaks, more
streamlined than doing it by hand but more flexible than making and
using metapackages.
Boxer is used to develop these Debian Blends:
* DebianParl - a system for individual parlamentarians,
deployed as a pilot project in the European Parliament
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianParl
* DebianDesign - a system for various kinds of visual designers
https://Design
* DebianTinker - a system for hardware and software tinkeres
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTinker
* SolidBox - a system for non-technical use of semantic web service
https://solidbox.org/
Thanks for the interest. :-)
