Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I don´t know exactly if you are the right one to ask my questions, but I
hope you coudl try to help me.
I´m an austrian student and I live in Graz.
Some colleagues and me have to write a paper about the FSF concerning
it´s organisation structures, projects etc.
Now some questions appeared which I cannot answer without some
explanations of you.
How is the organisation structure of Debian?
Is it somehow related to the FSF?
Who founded it?
Is ´Debian personally, financially or organizationally related to the FSF or
other projects?
It would be very helpful for me if you could find the time to answer
thes questions.
Have a nice day and also weekend.
I thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Natascha Neukam
Dear Natascha,
The project history can be found at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/
the current organisational structure is as follows:
- Debian consiusts of many developers, all of which work on a voluntary
basis (afaik). Most maintain one or more packages in the distribution.
For a who's who, look at http://www.debian.org/intro/organization
