+ <title>Hvad er Debian?</title>
+<para>
+
+Debian er en frivillig organisation med det form� at udvikle frie
+programmer og fremme Free Software Foundations' idealer.
+Debianprojektet startede i 1993, hvor Ian Murdick udsendte en
+�en åben invitation for programudviklere til at bidrage til en
+komplet og sammenhængende distribution baseret på den
+relativt nye Linuxkerne. Denne relativt lille gruppe af dedikerede
+enthusiaster startede oprindeligt gruppen

+og er påvirket af
+<ulink url="&url-gnu-intro;">GNU</ulink>-filosofien vokset
+gennem årene til en organisation på omkring
+&num-of-debian-developers; <firstterm>Debianudviklere</firstterm>.

+
+Debianudviklere er involverede i mange forskellige aktiviteter, herunder
+<ulink url="&url-debian-home;">Web</ulink> -
+og <ulink url="&url-debian-ftp;">FTP</ulink>-administration,
+grafisk design, ophavsretslig juridisk vurdering af program-licenser,
+udarbejdelse af dokumentation og --- naturligvis --- vedligeholdelsen
+af programpakker.

+
+For at beskrive vores filosofi og tiltrække udviklere, der tror på
+de principper, Debian står for, har Debianprojektet udgivet
+nogle dokumenter, der tydeliggør vore værdier og fungerer som
+retningslinjer for, hvad det vil sige at være Debianudvikler:

+Any maintainer can introduce new software into Debian &mdash; provided

+Debian developers are also involved in a number of other projects;
+some specific to Debian, others involving some or all of the Linux
+community.  Some examples include:

+
+The 
+<ulink url="&url-lsb-org;">Linux Standard Base</ulink> 
+(LSB) is a project aimed at standardizing the basic GNU/Linux system,
+which will enable third-party software and hardware developers to
+easily design programs and device drivers for Linux-in-general, rather
+than for a specific GNU/Linux distribution.

+
+The 
+<ulink url="&url-fhs-home;">Filesystem Hierarchy Standard</ulink>
+(FHS) is an effort to standardize the layout of the Linux
+file system. The FHS will allow software developers to concentrate
+their efforts on designing programs, without having to worry about how
+the package will be installed in different GNU/Linux distributions.
