I suggest to put effort on explaining what are and how are init systems with stages, supervision, freedom, etc. El 14/08/17 a les 11:49, Michael Siegel ha escrit: > Am 12.08.2017 um 22:16 schrieb Evilham: > >>> * Giving a talk of about 30 to 45 minutes and answering questions >>> from the audience for another 30 or 15 minutes respectively >>> >>> * Having a booth in the exhibition area of the building where >>> people can come by, inform themselves, ask questions, obtain >>> installation media and such >>> >>> I think it should be possible to have both if available manpower >>> allows for that. >> >> Maybe both is not quite necessary, you know how that goes, people >> come to you afterwards if they are interested.

Salut Narcís! Good to see you here (we've crossed emails on debian's CA user list).

Since the answer to this right now is basically "Debian without systemd", it totally begs next point. * What is an init system? Supervision? Why is that freedom important? * Why and how did it come about? "Why" should be mostly addressed by previous point, worth making it clear again here though. * How does the process of creating releases for this distribution work? * Why should users / debian ecosystem care? This would include the previous "what does Devuan have to offer" while leaving romom for more. * Is it usable? Where can you get it? Important to remark that Devuan is usable, stable and under active development. * Future plans * Where does the project need help?/How to contribute? I'd recommend taking a look at this: https://www.slideshare.net/opennebula/opennebulaconf2015-112-the-status-of-devuan-project-alberto-zuin It's a bit outdated and had a different purpose, but it's interesting :) Am 13/08/2017 um 8:29 schrieb Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult: > where exactly are you located ? lat: 50.8333 long: 12.9167 Just kidding, that's Chemnitz.

I also hope you find inspiration from this talk I've given at FSCONS in occasion of our two years anniversary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMvyOGawNwo I've uploaded here the slides' I've made for the occasion https://transfer.sh/TqJGe/devuan_fscons.odp stats may need some updating. I recommend to train well, be receptive and accept criticism. do remember we aim for excellence!! ciao :^) p.s. I wish I'd make it also to the event, it is very interesting indeed, tried to squeeze it in my calendar, but no luck. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Re: [DNG] OT: most processors are insecure (was Re: Nvidia Drivers)
FYI Many big companies get intel to include classified instruction sets to give them some kind of competitive edge. I can't find the link but it was in a bloomberg article about xeon CPU's. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I stopped using the proprietary driver when I noticed that whatever video I was last watching showed up in the background of my login screen on the next login, even after a warm reboot. fsr This happens even with the non-proprietary driver as the card doesn't sanitize memory on boot like it should. Nvidia has a bad attitude in regards to security and open source software, after all the time I wasted with their Code 43 "Bug" when trying to attach a geforce GPU to a VM for VM gaming I will never buy another green graphics card. What a shame the opengraphicscard project died. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] Which desktops are available in Devuan?
Finding Devuan, and subscribing last night, I'm keen to replace my Debian 9.0 "Systemdix"¹, even at the cost of reverting to older packages. But I don't much like Gnome either, and have become quite used to LXDE - especially the boot speed of the leaner environment. So the question is as put in the subject line. The answer might also fit in the category "what does Devuan have to offer", perhaps. I viewed the 2016 video last night, and applaud the commitment to OS ecosystem diversity. There is nothing more fundamental to *nix than that, equalled only by application diversity. I'll download the CD, and see what I find. (Or should it be the DVD for desktop alternatives?) Erik ¹ Well, it's not *nix any more. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
