Second me this article is not aggressive, but I understand the point of view of the brother. 2011/3/28 <[email protected]> > JMP > Hello Gérald, > > G > The OpenSource aspects may be developed in another article. > I'm afraid that none will take time to read this entire article and click to another article which is seem far away for children and DDL.

Ok it's not written in the Mozilla manifesto… :( > French Mozilla team explain me that Linux for them is a little % of their user... For them, the use of Mozilla product is just because they are respectuous of the web. Also I'm quite sad that they make some contracts with private companies (like their designer team using not free software) and after they open their work. I prefer they call free graphic designer for example or free other worker...but no... > G > The using of GNU/Linux in national organisation (french examples with > G > references) is needed to implicate more users. > > JMP > He's right, we should localize the examples as much as possible. > However I think we need to keep striking examples even coming from abroad. > So maybe JMP > we may just add one or two examples that are also striking for the country (eg. in France the Gendarmerie Nationale).

This is not a detail at all! > I think we can do a little "polish" (to polish) on the french to become less negative and more neutral :) Obviously with more reader we will do it quickly and better. I will give it a try when i make the map of all articles in all localisation and see if we already cover a "the real manual of DDL". > G > Stay positive and concentrate in DDL values is important and can give > G > more users. > > I love this :) Very true. > JMP > I'm still seeing a risk: I think most people will prefer TV or > consoles for their children if we do not compare a bit with them, simply > because advertising is incredibly higher for them than computers for > children.

So as the article > title say: why try DDL? ;) > I think is just the way to explain that. To be more diplomatic. I think, actually, our user are more floss friendly but if we want DDL in every house of children we have to be more cool with other DDL like (:D). > > G > Important article that can be interpreted in many manner. > Yeah!
