La Salle Debain
Open Source @ Consolidated Braincells Inc.
This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.
The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.
If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

One of Don Marti's predictions for 2007 is "Increased Support Offerings for pure Debian" It's a nice thought but I don't see it happening. While Debian is technically excellent how many organizations are going to want to hold their business hostage to a thousand prima donnas moaning about their motivation or lack thereof? No my prediction is that 2007 will continue the present trend of derivatives using Debian as a solid foundation while bypassing the dysfunctional aspects of our culture and adding what Debian can't or won't provide.
