Because I am bad at promoting my projects :-/ The Tinker project was born during a journey through India by my partner and I: https://couchdesign.dk/india/ We were meeting Linux hackers all over India with a special interest in learning about desktop and distribution customizations - what was adapted and why. In Kerala we met Cherry, a NetBSD developer and electronics hacker who contrary to most others we met had little interest in specific looks and behaviour of a graphical desktop but instead asked into the options and quality of tinker tools available in Debian. I am no expert on electronics hacking myself, but want to help support different customization needs, so I formed the tinker project and drafted what I imagine could attract tinkeres - people wanting a system for tinkering with other systems or with the main system itself. DebianTinker uses Boxer, a tool I am developing to help do Debian Pure (and dirty) Blends: Track package relationships and tweaks, more streamlined than doing it by hand but more flexible than making and using metapackages. Boxer is used to develop these Debian Blends: * DebianParl - a system for individual parlamentarians, deployed as a pilot project in the European Parliament https://wiki.debian.org/DebianParl * DebianDesign - a system for various kinds of visual designers https://Design * DebianTinker - a system for hardware and software tinkeres https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTinker * SolidBox - a system for non-technical use of semantic web service https://solidbox.org/ Thanks for the interest. :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
