As kind of a follow-up to the basic 'what would you do as DPL that you could not do as DD?' I would like to know more about how you would handle marketing Debian. The very hot topic this week is Dell's move to offer open source alternatives. Buried several clicks away from Dells 'Ideas in Action' page is a vague reference to Debian pertaining to 8G servers. Would you as DPL make it a primary goal to attract as many DD's as you could to work specifically on eliminating the gotchas of installing Debian on Dell Desktops, Laptops and Servers working towards putting Debian at the top of Dells (and maybe others to follow) list of approved and pre-installed OS's? ~'your friendly debian-vote watcher'
Hi Curt, This is a great question. I've a chapter in my platform that covers the Debian relationship with major hardware vendors and their approach handling server and desktop support. Based on HP results, i'll do my best to push more vendors to support us, even hiring developers to make sure that Debian works well over their hardware. I also want to push more ideas out of the paper in terms of marketing. There is a chapter on my platform about this too. You will be able to read soon. regards, -- stratus http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
