Re: longer Debian confession
* martin f krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-11-17 16:15]: They will not publish this text on their own webpage, so the only way in which we can profit off this is if there is a place on www.d.o to publish it. Is there? Or should I tell them that they better spend their time doing other stuff (for Debian) and to stick with a 10 line confession in regular www.d.o/users style.

Re: longer Debian confession
Hi Martin, A company has asked me whether they [sc]hould write a longer confession about their use of Debian, why they chose it, and how their impressions are. I asked them to submit a short text to www.d.o/users, but they would prefer to write an official statement, two pages or so. I've been thinking for a while that if I could convince some of the organisations involved to provide more detail I'd like to really exand the Linux Rollouts page at http://jon.oxer.com.au/linuxrollouts/ with detailed case studies. If they do finish writing it up please let me know. There's also the possibility it could be used as the basis of a magazine article, which I'd be very happy to collaborate on. Cheers :-) Jonathan Oxer
