TOPIC
Opening Up
The Netule Project
http://Netule.org
by
David Mandel
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The Netule Project is a project to build a family of special
purpose Linux distributions. So far we have built:
FW-I -- A firewall distribution
EM-I -- An Email server distribution
WM-I -- A Web server distribution
and we would like to build distributions that are even more
task oriented in the future.
The current distributions are a mix between Open Source and
Closed Source software. I'm going to talk about what we have
learned in building these distributions and why we why we
would like to open the Netule Project completely.
But mostly, I would like feed back from the group about:
- How can we make this project more attractive to
the Linux community?
- How tightly should the project be organized?
- How should the project be organized in general?
I don't expect this talk to be highly technical, but who knows?
Mostly, I expect it to be interactive. Be prepared to
contribute ideas.
