Branden Robinson Lays Down the Law at Debian

Posted by timothy on from the testing-the-mic dept.

darthcamaro writes "Newly elected Debian Project Leader Branden Robinson posted his first report as DPL. From the looks of it, Debian is flat broke, with only $40,000 or so in cash on hand. In an interview on internetnews.com, though, Robinson talks about whether Debian should even hold onto any money at all. Holding onto cash is also likely not what those who donate to the Debian Project expect either, according to Robinson. "People who donate us money ... seem to expect us to put the money to work for us in the near-term, not towards establishing an endowment,' he said."

    I just installed Ubuntu last night, which is based on Debian. It is Debian, with what you really want in it that isn't. Hardware detection, modern packages.

    Time brings change!
