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.
