Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Introducing De: jaromil <[email protected]> Para: [email protected] Fecha: 19/03/09 09:06 Not enough information to check signature validity. Mostrar los detalles re all, i was born in 1977 and grew up in south of Italy, later living as nomad around Europe, Middle-East and Asia since 2000 (but never been to Americas), developing adopting and promoting free software. while being around i've established several links as the "dyne.org network" which is now 8 years old: today we keep in contact several hackers worldwide, all from heterogeneous backgrounds, all willing to focus on development for the freedom of speech (so free software is a obvious choice). this document details better dyne.org current intentions http://jaromil.dyne.org/journal/weaver_birds.pdf you'll find further informations on my own activities in the base url our network links distribution maintainers, hackers, artists and activists, who are involved in software projects ( http://dyne.org/software.php ) as well activist initiatives as ((i))ndymedia, http://streamtime.org , http://www.hackmeeting.org , M2M radio http://m2m.streamtime.org and some more hacker gatherings and art festivals - we also collaborate with educational institutions (that's how i make a living myself) of either technical or humanistic backgrounds, where we advocate interdisciplinary activities and use of free software. dyne.org doesn't aims at becoming a business, at monetizing our activity or sustaining people involved: it shares a political mission among linked people to fight corporate hegemony, capitalist prevarications and neo-colonialism, especially in crisis areas. we see free/libre software as a non-competitive model for development, being very keen to merge and link projects when their quality and usefulness will benefit, our objective is not "being the best", but having better free tools for all, to do what we need to do in our own contexts. at present time the free distribution I and I maintain is dyne:bolic, written from scratch (with some unique features) and focusing on multimedia production and computer recycling. its manual is currently being translated in spanish by volunteers from Oaxaca, a crisis zone in southern Mexico where they need to take advantage of the strong encryption implemented into the system, a technology i strongly encourage to include by default in all our OS implementations. The Linux-libre kernel is more recent than our latest d:b OS release, so the next one will surely include this kernel and our 3.0 release should be based on Gnewsense and pure:dyne. on my own desktops i use FREEEEE (BLAG 90k) and Gnewsense, doing my best to study both worlds (Debian and Fedora). I'm an enthusiastic Emacs user and my favourite extension is muse-el by Michael Olson at present times i'm mostly busy with development of FreeJ, which received also moderated funding here in Netherlands where i'm currently living, involving a larger group of talented developers to reach the point when we have a software "vision mixer" for online TV production, scriptable in javascript, python and what not (swig!) FreeJ is one of the few tools present in Debian and other distros to stream ogg/theora video and actually the only one to do live video manipulation at the same time. My dream is one day to be able to control FreeJ from Emacs, a bit like my friend Martin is doing with Gneve http://1010.co.uk/gneve.html :) something more than a year ago i've applied to be an FSF speaker, having good rhetoric skills and quite some success in advocating libre software in Asia and Europe, i keep ears open for any advice and better contact with the wider and well experienced community around the FSF, to contribute at my best to *our mission* ! yes, sometimes it feels like being in "blues brothers" :) thanks for setting up this mailinglist! i really needed it, esp. since Jebba pulled out from development, i was mostly in contact with him and always lacked some better touch with all of you guys ciao -- Marcos Guglielmetti - www.musix.org.ar Software Libre para Artistas http://soycorresponsal.lanacion.com.ar/Nota.aspx?IdNota=1436 "El Mundo festejó cuando fue derribado el Muro de Berlín de solo 38km de extensión, este muro de apartheid en Palestina ya lleva 800 km y está proyectado que llegue a los 1200.
