Linux Democracy

Hello everybody,

Have you ever seen any other occasion where so many people, from many countries, are willing to help shape up the next distro of Mint?
Suggestions, offers for help and the very democratic way that Clem handles everything; willing to change things by accepting all useful ideas.
Everybody chips in.

It seems that the next Mint will be the work of many people, by the people and for the people.
This is really Linux Democracy!
Greetings, npap

yes, I have to agree this is by far and away the best way to create a Linux distro

I would absolutely love to be able to help. Unfortunately, I'm not very knowledgable in the ways of Linux. If you know of something that needs to be done, and I'm able, I'm more than willing to help.

Yes, I agree; One of my new year purposes, is begin to program in Linux(probably in Phyton).

If that was the case I'd probably be more selective in the subforums I participate in. Of course if the number of posts in the forum was 20 times what it is now, I wouldn't be able to read every single thing.. as I do now. I'd probably stop reading and answering in the Support subforums and let the community support itself.

Having said that, more than half of the ideas that were implemented to make Linux Mint what it is now came from these forums. This is the best feedback and the best way Linux Mint has to continuously improve itself. So it would be a very bad thing for me not to read what people say and miss precious ideas, suggestions and feedback.

If that was the case you'd probably organize a team, in charge of reading everything and reporting to you: one the developed ideas, one other all the suggestions and a last one the feedback of the members of the forum.

And once a week you'd publish the "Clement Time" - Newsletter

You know, we all would be clement with your time management

I'm talking to Josh via PM, who offered to give a hand on the repos so we're working on that at the moment... dependency problems, "Ubuntu" entries in grub, "edgy" or "bianca" distribution for the repository.

Also Michael is working on the server to see if we can migrate and update our DNS. The fact that we're still pointing at nutime.de is a risk for the release of Bianca (which sources.list will have to point at linuxmint.com).

So all of this is being looked at closely at the moment.

I've been using Ubuntu for a year, just started using Bea and wow ! I'm impressed, what can I do to help out around here ?

Hi,

You can install all the mint... tools that get released for Bianca and help us test them, post found bugs and suggestions on how to improve them.

Otherwise: http://linuxmint.com/get_involved.html
