That's a pretty > long carreer. if one is able to look beyond the decreasing hate rethoric, in this list there are real pearls of wisdom being shared by a rather unique and diverse set of generations. its quite breath taking sometimes :^) this is also very attuned to one of the oldest among dyne.org's missions: that of supporting the creation of a working computer museum in Sicily http://museum.dyne.org/en/ where we gathered many rare pieces already. I hope soon there will be the possibility to organize a gathering of sorts, perhaps in the near of our museum, which can be about Devuan as a main topic, but it should certainly leave space to this very community and the importance of historical memory when designing new systems. ciao -- Denis "Jaromil" Roio, Dyne.org Think (& Do) Tank We are free to share code and we code to share freedom Web: https://j.dyne.org Contact: https://j.dyne.org/c.vcf GPG: 6113 D89C A825 C5CE DD02 C872 73B3 5DA5 4ACB 7D10 Confidential communications: https://keybase.io/jaromil
