Because my contributions are respected equally, in most other distributions my contributions will be treated second class, subject to wishes of managers, even those who don't contribute technically in that area. There was a concrete example when I tried to get emacs installed by default when a user chooses my language (Malayalam), because at that time only emacs terminal emulator could display Malayalam correctly. But it was rejected because the desktop team did not want to support another terminal emulator. It would have still be acceptable if a manager working on i18n made that decision. The reason I switched to Debian was when another distribution which took everything from debian refused to contribute back something better it developed. I want to spent my efforts on someone who treats me as their own member rather than just free work. I love democracy, where everyone has a say and have a chance to make the changes they want rather than depending on someone. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
