We have had discussions on the mailing list, we have had several 
meetings, where have you been? What kind of ping do you need?


I think some more patience and understanding about how Debian works 
might go a long way in making this easier for you.


Any DD can set up a subdomain on debian.net (as per 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianNetDomains) - all that Dominik was saying 
is that he registered academy.debian.net before, so, he is the one 
person who is able to point it to a new location if needed (so, he's 
actually trying to help you here).

It is! What's really disappointing is the lack of puns out there.

I've considered using Copyright 2013 Debian Project for the licensing 
of packaging that's intended to go into Debian. What would happen if I 
do that? Would the package get rejected? Is it possible for an entity 
like Debian to gain copyright to something if it's more or less unknowingly?

+1, sometimes it takes a very small bad gesture from a small minority to

Re: Debian download possible or no?

I have nothing against the idea to pay for something interesting, but

NOR which files -or folders.
I have tried each of the -free- options offered. None of them is
working.


Thanks for your interest in Debian. However, please note that this is 
not a support list, please try the debian-users mailing list instead.


To download Debian. you can open a web browser and visit 
http://www.debian.org. On the top right there's a little green banner 
that says Download Debian 6.0. That will give you an iso image that 
you can use to install a Debian system.


Hope that helps,

 i know it takes a lot to maintain gnome 2 but will you please keep it in the

 even if you dont maintain gnome 2 at lest keep it in the system.
 i really dont care if gnome 2 gets maintained just as long as i have it the 
 debain.
 maybye what you can do is make two gnome distros one for gnome 3 and gnome 2 
 that looks good to 
 me and hopefully to you.

Unfortunately Gnome 2 is unmaintained and completely discontinued
upstream, and for the Debian Gnome maintainers to maintain the packages
and the code base it self would be a huge undertaking.

Otherwise it's probably best to just stick with Squeeze and install
backports. By the time the next stable Debian release hits the Gnome 3
fallback mode should be a lot better.

Re: What is annoying in the flattr buttons?

[Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)]

Hi Raphael

 On Mon, 08 Nov 2010, Holger Levsen wrote:

 So it's now clear that this thread is only about flattr buttons. Quite a few
 people explained that they are (at varying level) annoyed by them. I would
 like to know _why_ those buttons annoy them.
 
 To get a clear feedback I'd like to setup a poll (with selectricity.org)
 so that people who have chosen to put those buttons can decide what to do
 (or not).
 
 It's going to be a condorcet-based poll where you have to rank the
 following statements: I'm annoyed by Flattr buttons because
  * The picture catches the attention too much in a post which contains
only text.
  * The picture allows Flattr to gather statistics about me.
  * Debian contributors should not make money from posts syndicated on
planet.
  * I believe Flattr is a bad micro-donation system and it should not be
promoted.
  * The button indirectly promotes a service run by a private company
unrelated to Debian.
snip
  
 Are those sentences correctly representing your concerns? Are there other
 concerns to add?

I'm not a Debian Developer, but I'm an avid follower of Planet Debian (I
read *everything*) and the Debian Project itself.

I think all of the above reasons are valid reasons to be annoyed by the
flattr icons. I'd add that some posters might in some way try to 'guilt'
readers into flattr'ing them, as in I went through all this effort in
writing this post and I need money badly so you should really click on
my flattr button!. There are many more subtle versions of that, but for
me personally I find that one of the most annoying things about it.

Having said that, I do see the 'fun' behind it. It's another tool to see
what users like, what they might want to see more of. And it must be
interesting measuring contributions over periods and whether people
enjoy your posts more or less than before. I can see why many people
would want to use it without even being interested in the few dollars it
generates. Imho this is one of those areas where exploring all the
shades of grey in between could be useful.
