Just an example of backwards thinking that is prevalent in society. Since I
am already giving my 2 cents, I have to say that the reasons have to do with
evils. They are referring to I guess the opportunity cost of not being able
to use x feature since there is not a libre alternative.
Did I understand it right, someone doesn't want to review a distro that comes
free of charge? How is that plausible? Every single distro can be obtained
free of charge, also every single one can be bought on a CD, although some
seem to be slightly more expensive than others.
Anyways I've
I think he meant that he wouldn't review a libre distro.
It sort of does. I never would have found this distro if it wasn't for the
FSF. As I mentioned before helping free distros is one of their high
priority projects. Once we get this setup we should probably do a media
push. As I mentioned to you on IRC maybe we could get the FSF to make a
That's a great idea, I found Trisquel only due to FSF as well. Watching
videos of rms telling the story of GNU (he IS a fascinatingly strange guy)
and learning more about the true origin of GNU/Linux through all other kinds
of sources made me understand the importance of free software and

You can count with 10 € monthly from me, and a little more to the end of
the year.

I have another idea. The Slashdot.org crowd seems to really love open source,

I just donated $35.
A full-time paid staff would do wonders for the quality of the releases.
Trisquel could become the Cadillac of fully-free distros. :P
Of course, some things like writing documentation are best done on an
entirely unpaid, volunteer basis, as I am perfectly happy to do.
Trisquel IS the Cadillac of fully free distros :-P But that's mostly because
fully free distros are that bad in terms of being actually alive.
I agree however, that Trisquel should become much, much better. I'd consider
a membership in a month or two, just really having trouble with finding
Of course if we had funding (even grassroots) that would help a lot at

Sounds like a good idea.
I like this idea, too. I also think it would be nice if we could see what
the donations were being spent on. If people could see the impact that
donations are having on the project, they might donate more.
Yeah. I don't know about Spain but the tor project had this problem at the
beginning. When they were trying to get funding they were just a group of
guys and no one will really fund a group of guys so they had to become a
non-profit organization. I'm not sure if that is the right move for
