Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me come up with a name for this Trisquel fork.

What about LibrePod. Like Cephalopod but free. Or Free! (as in Free-bang). Or  
stick with symbolism with ν!. The lowercase version of the Greek letter Nu,  
which would mean "Degree of Freedom" bang ... LoL  or just free-bang.


Anyway, I am interested in the idea (whether you like my suggestions or not).  
I do like openbox. How can I find out more about the project?

Looks and sounds great!! Only two tiny things. You may want to add a break  
between the second and third paragraphs to match the rest. Also, you might  
want to make the "for more information" urls actual hyperlinks like the  
others.


Nevertheless great job!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Advertising Trisquel & FLOSS

2015-10-14 Thread dennisjdufrene
The LibreSoftware approach is great. However, to appeal to new users  
(especially migrating users) there needs to be some marketing as what the  
Distro can do for them.


For example, I saw a reddit thread where many users were under the impression  
that a Libre Distro was useless because you couldn't even listen to music,  
watch youtube, etc.


So in that vein, I would think a "Mythbusting" infographic on what Trisquel  
can do out of the box for the average user would be a good marketing tool.  
Something like:


What Can Trisquel Do for You?

I am not sure there is a way to restrict a screenshot ... is there? Most  
screenshot programs simply take a screen scrape on whatever is on screen. As  
far as I know, screenshot tools are software agnostic and take whatever is on  
the monitor(s).

[Trisquel-users] Netflix/Hulu?

2015-10-10 Thread dennisjdufrene
As everyone knows, I am fairly new here (to trisquel and to Libre Software in  
general). My question, were do Netflix and Hulu fall in the grand scheme of  
libre software? (I am thinking netflix is not due to the  
silverlight/pipelight requirement.)


If they are not permitted, what alternatives do others use?


[Trisquel-users] Spam ... Spam Everywhere!

2015-10-08 Thread dennisjdufrene
Ok so maybe not everywhere. However, it does seem like spammers have taken a  
liking to the forums. Is there a way to report these guys to remove the  
spammy topics. I do not see an obvious way to do that.


If there is not a current way to do so, could we implement one before it gets  
out of hand?

It would be nice if each of the language categories broken out into

Documentation Content

Or some variation of those.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I moved my DE to XFCE! How does one safely remove old GNOME parts?

2015-10-08 Thread dennisjdufrene

I am not sure, but I am inclined to think that a

sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-*

should do the trick. However, I would feel better if someone could validate  
that.


I know if you will do a sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-* -s it will show  
you what it will remove without actually doing it.

How can I help the project? I am not a programmer, but I am a Technical  
Writer by trade. I can write technical documentation, marketing slicks, video  
tutorials, etc.


I do not have much cash, but I am willing to donate my time and skills! I  
think Trisquel is one of the better distros/prjects out there. I agree with  
the philosophy and the approach. Yet, unfortunately, not as well known as the  
others (95 on Distrowatch :/).


Let me know how I can help in the most effective way.
