Dear mentors and game maintainers, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "steam-powered".
* Package name : steam-powered Version : 0.8.0 Upstream Author : Michael Gilbert * URL : no web site * License : gpl for steam-powered script, non-free for downloaded game and game data Section : games It builds these binary packages: steam-powered - Valve's steam game content delivery system The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/steam-powered - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/steam-powered/steam-powered_0.8.0.dsc I am hoping get more involved in packaging popular games for Debian. I understand that these popular games are mostly under non-free licenses, and there tends to be a lot of resistance to non-free in the Debian community. However, gamers are a very important niche segment, and they are very hard to please. But I think we can start making inroads by providing packages for the games they like and thus making it easier for them to switch. If gamers were to start adopting GNU/Linux, it would be like a waterfall because there are so many of them, and they have a huge influence on the tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy crowds. I am also currently working on packages specifically for the steam games themselves such as counter-strike and half-life2, and will upload these if there is interest in sponsoring steam-powered. Thank you very much for your consideration. Regards, Michael Gilbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
