FSF updates list of free GNU/Linux distributions, adding Kongoni and announcing the Trisquel 3.0 release
http://www.fsf.org/news/free-distributions-updates-kongoni-trisquel FSF updates list of free GNU/Linux distributions, adding Kongoni and announcing the Trisquel 3.0 release BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Friday, September 11, 2009 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced updates related to its list of fully free GNU/Linux distributions, including the addition of one new distribution called Kongoni, and a milestone release of the Trisquel system. Trisquel, which was added to the list last December, has issued its 3.0 release, codenamed "Dwyn." It is the first in a new series of short term support releases that will be updated every six months with new software to add features, improved performance, and hardware compatibility. Kongoni, named after the Shona word for "gnu," is based in Africa. For optimal performance with minimal bandwidth requirements, it uses a packaging system called "ports" that downloads programs as source and builds them automatically. Trisquel, Kongoni, and the other GNU/Linux system distributions on the FSF's list only include and only propose free software. They reject nonfree applications, nonfree programming platforms, nonfree drivers, nonfree firmware "blobs," and any other nonfree software and documentation. They uphold a commitment to remove any such components as they are discovered -- a commitment most well-known GNU/Linux distributions do not follow. FSF operations manager John Sullivan said, "It's very encouraging to see this list continuing to increase in both quality and quantity. While others continue to propagate the outdated claim that it's too hard or not possible to make distributions without proprietary binary firmware and other nonfree programs, free software activists and developers working on projects like Kongoni and Trisquel continue to prove them wrong." Both Trisquel and Kongoni are calling for more contributors to help. Trisquel is seeking mirrors, package maintainers, beta testers, translators, and documentation writers. Kongoni is looking for people to help with publicity, and writing new package ports. More information about using and contributing to Trisquel and Kongoni can be found at their respective Web sites, http://trisquel.info/ and http://kongoni.co.za/. The FSF's guidelines for free system distributions are online at http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html, and the distributions committed to those guidelines are listed at http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html.
Bueno, Marcos. Cambiando de tema... Me parece que no tenemos reportes de MusixBr 1.0 R7. Creo que se puede divulgar su liberación. El tema es que codigolivre.org.br quedo fuera del aire hoy. Solo debe retornar en lunes, pues el servidor queda en la UNICAMP - Universidade de Campinas que es una instituición pública la cual debe retornar al trabajo solamiente en lunes. Entonces, pienso que el la proxima semana se puede divulgar y empezar la construción del DVD. Saludos.

Si, como te comentaba ayer, la probé con qemu y me pareció que andaba bien, booteo, andan los escritorios, cargo en español el menu al darle la instrucción de booteo lang=es (aunque luego durante el booteo me preguntó si eso estaba bien), quizá haya que decirle xorgmusix lang=es_ES en fin, sea como sea son cosas que se pueden dejar en el WIKI y listo
Creo que se puede divulgar su liberación. El tema es que codigolivre.org.br quedo fuera del aire hoy.
De todas formas tenemos varios servers a los cuales subirla, e3 de ututo debería ser el server natural para estas cosas, además de codigolivre Luego desde esos servers, iría a GNU.org o quedaría en Ututo (por una cuestión práctica ya no es necesario que vaya a GNU.org, Ututo tiene incluso hasta más ancho de banda en algunos servers)
Solo debe retornar en lunes, pues el servidor queda en la UNICAMP - Universidade de Campinas que es una instituición pública la cual debe retornar al trabajo solamiente en lunes. Entonces, pienso que el la proxima semana se puede divulgar y empezar la construción del DVD.
Genial Cuando quieras!! Si podés, escribí un texto con el anuncio en los idiomas que puedas (eso debería ir al wiki), luego lo traducimos al inglés, y lo mandamos a distrowatch!
Saludos. Gilberto
