>what is your blueprint based debian like? At this point of time I am not sure what is going to look like. May be it will help me if you can tell me what exactly do you mean by it. I apologize for my unfamiliarity with some of the terms. >maybe we can start a project named mobian (mobile debian) ? Yes this would be awesome. This will bring Debian up to the speed of likes of Ubuntu. I would be happy to assist in this with whatever knowledge and skills I have. Thanks for effort and initiative.

I got your point, you mean we(group of debian) should make a blueprint for some Device like Netbook / UMPC / MIDs. what is your blueprint based debian like? maybe we can start a project named mobian (mobile debian) ?

But it seems that these processors are low power and are made for Ultra mobile PC (UMPC) and netbooks and to take advantage of this the applications need to be optimized/ported to take advantages that this processor has to offer. For example, Ubuntu started the netbook-remix program to port applications for Intel Atom processors based on the Intel's moblin project (http://www.moblin.org/). https://edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix And therefore I was wondering if Debian community is planning to have something like this. Thank you once again for your time.
