Project News for GNU-Darwin Distribution
GNU-Darwin: Action Amazon.com
Many of you will be surprised to read proclus' profile at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AF7DZ97VNSEWN/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp
After a very long boycott over some patent issues, I perceived that
Amazon was not acting like a patent vulture, and I decide that I may be
able to exert more influence as a customer. For example, I have
consistently rated down Apple products and the Amazon Kindle, and I
will continue to do so until they fix the problems that our community
wants fixed.Amazon has a very formidable presence on the web, and their front and
back end are chock full of useful tools, so that I want to recommend
this strategy of activism to our subscribers.As a plus, you can learn a little more about the GNU-Darwin founder,
and even look at my shopping list ;-}.I am very well aware of the controversy that Amazon represents in our
community, and so I am eager to hear any comments or suggestions about
this action. Otherwise, please do feel free to throw in with similar
activities. It is for the best in my opinion.Regards,
proclus

GNU-DarwinAction:Copyright Treaty Outrage
FOIA Request For Pending Copyright Treaty Denied: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/13/1446206
An obvious outrage. It appears that the Obama administration is
beginning to unmask their orientation against cyber-liberties. Let's
see what we can do now to turn around this abhorrent juggernaut. It
need not come to congress at all, but if it does, then we can be ready
for that too.BTW, as a reminder intermittent outages may be expected due to our
ongoing facility upgrade.Regards,
proclus

GNU-Darwin Action: iDon't
Current revisions of Darwin and the iPhone remain unsatisfactory to the
free software community. Join the iDon't campaign. Don't buy any Apple
products until these problems are fixed.

GNU-Darwin Package set of Molecules Machine
I am starting to get questions about how the Molecules site was constructed.
http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/
I think that it is a good example of what is possible using GNU-Darwin
OS and FOSS, free and open source software. I also thought that
GNU-Darwinists and others would be interested in the package set. It
should be noted that these are alpha, first run packages, but we are
putting them to good use.Here is the uname -a output for the current darwintel machine, which is
doing all the heavy lifting.Darwin darwintel 8.0.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.0.1: Fri Apr 29 12:18:40 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.obj/RELEASE_I386 x86 i386 AMD Phenom(tm) X4 Quad-Core Processor GP-9500 Darwin
This system has been stripped of all proprietary software, except two
hardware driver binaries unfortunately, which is why we don't distribute
the OS installer. One of the reasons why we operate this way is so that
we can build and distribute free software that runs under current
Darwin-based operating systems, like GNU-Darwin and Mac OS. Here is a
link to the package directory.http://www.gnu-darwin.org/www001/packages-1.5a-CURRENT/
GNU-Darwinists with familiarity regarding our architecture may find
these packages useful. If that is not the case, please consult our
online help files and examples before trying this package set. Here is
a link to the ports tree.http://www.gnu-darwin.org/www001/ports-1.5a-CURRENT
If there are any further questions about how we are operating the
Molecules site, please feel free to ask, or get a GNU-Darwin account,
and look for yourself. Accounts are free for 30 days.Regards,
proclus
