Fellowship interview with Rolf Camps
,----[ Quote ]
| This month we've interviewed Rolf Camps about translating, volunteering, and
| awareness of Free Software in Belgium. Translations are utterly crucial for a
| European organisation, and it's a lot of work that doesn't get much visible
| credit, so I wanted to ask Rolf about motivations and what's involved. This
| is the second in our series of Fellowship interviews - "the smallest unit of
| freedom".

gNewSense 2.0 [Screenshots]
,----[ Quote ]
| Less than a week after the release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron", the Free
| Software Foundation has gone ahead and released version 2.0 (named DeltaH) of
| gNewSense. For those not familiar with gNewSense, this is one of the few
| distributions certified by the Free Software Foundation as being a truly free
| Linux distribution. gNewSense 2.0 is essentially Ubuntu 8.04 LTS but with a
| few modifications to make it more free by removing some binary-only
| components. New in gNewSense 2.0 is also new artwork, switching the default
| web browser from Mozilla Firefox to Epiphany, Blag's deblob script in the
| kernel, and non-free GLX being removed from X.Org/Mesa. Here are a few
| screenshots from this latest release.

The Importance of the 'Completely Libre' Distributions
,----[ Quote ]
| What's more, I recently migrated a local user to gNewSense from
| his improperly-licensed, virus-ridden Windows XP system. I am due to follow
| up with him soon, so we'll see how his GNU/Linux eXPerience is going.
| Frankly, I'm pretty sure he'll agree that gNewSense is a great demonstration
| of the power of software freedom.
