Hola a todos.

Por favor si alguien puede tarducir este texto mandado por nuestro amigo
Abdur-Rahman. Seguro que a todos nos interesará conocer que nos está
proponiendo en este correo.

It is through the combined passion, creativity and fervor of Jeff
> "jebba" Moe that many of us are here rallying around this distribution
> known as BLAG linux and gnu. It identifies itself with the spirit of
> computer users, hackers, activist, conscious-minded individuals
> worldwide young and old who everyday are living in a time where its
> vital that the values of computer user freedom remain at the forefront
> of discussions pertaining to Free Software, technology and social change.
>
> This message is a call and response. A call for unity among users within
> the BLAG and free software community who have knowledge and skills to
> contribute in rebuilding our foundation. It is a response for those who
> have skills that do not believe that they can contribute if they are not
> developers and who have potential to make a difference by simply sharing
> what you know and applying it in core areas where we need it. The
> process of developing BLAG is an effort by many to come toegther as a
> community of great people who have great ideas that demonstrate free
> software in action. Over the past six years, BLAG has continually
> strived and been committed to releasing a 100% Free Software
> distribution that has stepped up in challenging misconceptions about
> GNU/Linux by bringing together individuals who bring the best of
> themselves here to ensure and maintain core principals to live in a Free
> Society.
>
> BLAG is one of 8 Free Software Distros available to the computer user
> community at large. In over the past two years, it has suffered the loss
> of its main developer in which it has not contributed its last three
> releases and has been unable to maintain its most updated release. These
> types of issues have bought up many questions and discussions within our
> forums, mailing list, IRC and within e-mails that I have discussed
> actively with those who are dedicated to Free Software. These issues are
> not immune to any distro as recently demonstrated by Kongoni's, A.J.
> Venter declaring that he can not maintain the distro by himself.  These
> are foundation issues that must be resolved by every distro in order
> that each may prosper for the people committed to Free Software who use
> BLAG, but also for developers and contributors who dedicate the time
> energy to a process which alone can be daunting. From discussions I have
> had within BLAG, most recently within the Free Software Latin America's
> Freenode Channel and with other Free Software users, it's vital that
> users, developers and contributors need to have a discussions within our
> distros not only relating to everyday technical aspects of the software
> that is being used. The infrastructure that moves each distro
> individually affects our survival long-term. If one to two developers
> are taking a lead role in maintaining a project without the help of
> contributors and their users, in the short term they can only manage to
> focus in one area, sometimes leaving other areas to suffer. An easily
> installable distro with little problems updating for the user is vital
> to our success. Our sites, wikis, forums and external connections (i.e
> wikipedia entries, news articles)have an impact on user experience too.
> If these things are left to fall behind because we do not feel like our
> skills are up to a grande level then we leave distros at risk by not
> engaging in the process to understand that we the greatest ability to
> take the opportunity to learn by utilizing our local resources (i.e
> documentation, libraries, users with the skills we seek) to be the
> support we need to makes the changes we wish to see.
>
> What I would like to propose is a
> FreeSoftwareDistributionConference(FSDCon) by which:
>
> Each Free Software Foundation can introduce itself and its most
> important initatives.
> Each Free Software Distribution can introduce itself and discuss areas
> where there is need
> Free Software Users can actively speak to representatives from both and
> coordination can take place for people to network with FSF and FSD
>
> A topic list can be generated for areas we need to make changes as a whole
> .
>
> An example of the above would be the development of a video aggregating
> site, like youtube where ogg and HTML5 can be used to watch videos in
> IceCat. This discussion can involve gnash contributors on areas where
> they need help in making gnash update to reflect the changes being made
> to Adobe's Flash format
>
> Combining efforts in common areas. With so many users how can we
> effectively use the time to ensure that we are not duplicating work that
> can be done commonly.
>
> Creation of a global semantic linux hardware database, first for free
> distros and further expanding other GNU/Linux communities.
>
> What common issues do we need to resolve that have been a constant issue
> for users with each release. How can we address making the distro
> approachable to new free software users and new users in general who
> require an experience that may not be intimidating when it comes to
> selecting, configuring and using the hardware that sometimes prohibits
> adoption
>
> The original purpose of this e-mail was to get support from the BLAG
> community members, support from the Free Software community that are
> using the FSF's List of Free GNU/Linux distros, but its clear that with
> the discussions and e-mails that I have been having on BLAG IRC and
> other Free Software Distro channels on Freenode, that it is time that
> our community begin talking about the strengths and weaknesses of each
> distro and how we all move ahead together.
