-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 12 - Contributing to the Debian Project -

- -

-Donations of time -(to develop new packages, maintain existing packages, or provide user support), -resources (to mirror the FTP and WWW archives), and money (to pay for new -testbeds as well as hardware for the archives) can help the project. -

- -

12.1 How can I become a Debian software developer?

- -

-The development of Debian is open to all, and new users with the right skills -and/or the willingness to learn are needed to maintain existing packages which -have been "orphaned" by their previous maintainers, to develop new -packages, and to provide user support. -

- -

-The description of becoming a Debian developer can be found at the New Maintainer's -Corner at the Debian web site. -

- -

12.2 How can I contribute resources to the Debian project?

- -

-Since the project aims to make a substantial body of software rapidly and -easily accessible throughout the globe, mirrors are urgently needed. It is -desirable but not absolutely necessary to mirror all of the archive. Please -visit the Debian mirror -size page for information on the disk space requirements. -

- -

-Most of the mirroring is accomplished entirely automatically by scripts, -without any interaction. However, the occasional glitch or system change -occurs which requires human intervention. -

- -

-If you have a high-speed connection to the Internet, the resources to mirror -all or part of the distribution, and are willing to take the time (or find -someone) who can provide regular maintenance of the system, then please contact -debian-admin@lists.debian.org. -

- -

12.3 How can I contribute financially to the Debian project?

- -

-One can make individual donations to one of two organizations that are critical -to the development of the Debian project. -

- -

12.3.1 Software in the Public Interest

- -

-Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit -organization, formed when FSF withdrew their sponsorship of Debian. The -purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute free software. -

- -

-Our goals are very much like those of FSF, and we encourage programmers to use -the GNU General Public License on their programs. However, we have a slightly -different focus in that we are building and distributing a Linux system that -diverges in many technical details from the GNU system planned by FSF. We -still communicate with FSF, and we cooperate in sending them changes to GNU -software and in asking our users to donate to FSF and the GNU project. -

- -

-SPI can be reached at: http://www.spi-inc.org/. -

- -

12.3.2 Free Software Foundation

- -

-At this time there is no formal connection between Debian and the Free Software -Foundation. However, the Free Software Foundation is responsible for some of -the most important software components in Debian, including the GNU C compiler, -GNU Emacs, and much of the C run-time library that is used by all programs on -the system. FSF pioneered much of what free software is today: they wrote the -General Public License that is used on much of the Debian software, and they -invented the "GNU" project to create an entirely free Unix system. -Debian should be considered a descendent of the GNU system. -

- -

-FSF can be reached at: http://www.fsf.org/. -
