Debian-Buster release party

Submitted by space on Mon, 2019-07-08 17:01

Debian 10 which is codenamed as ‘Buster’ was released on 6th July 2019. Debian release which is considered as one of the main events in the free software community celebrated all over the world by different local communities. (wiki page link ). In Kerala, release parties were organized in Trivandrum, Ernakulam, Thrissur & Kannur.

SPACE ( Society for Promotion of Alternative Computing & Employment) one of the early adopters and promoters of free software in Kerala conducted the release party for all the free software supporters.

The question of why Debian is released in such a way & why SPACE is doing the same needs to be addressed. We also hope that the relevance of such release parties & objectives it should meet need also be discussed in the context of this new Debian Release.

Debian & Free Software

Debian is one of the earliest operating systems based on the Linux kernel consisting entirely of free software. The Debian Stable branch is the most popular edition for personal computers and network servers and is used as the basis for many other Linux distributions. The project is coordinated over the Internet by a team of volunteers guided by the Debian Project Leader and three foundational documents: the Debian Social Contract, the Debian Constitution, and the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Debian has been developed openly and distributed freely according to the principles of the GNU Project. In short, Debian is the operating system developed by a community bounded by free software ideologies for the free software community.

As a part of ‘Freedom15’, SPACE is providing an Internship programme as our February event. Even though we had provided internship programmes to engineering students and graduates in the past, it is for the first time SPACE coming with a comprehensive programme and announcing an open call for the same. We are planning to provide internships to at least 15 candidates throughout this year on different technologies we are working on.
