-Debian is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to developing free
-software and promoting the ideals of the Free Software Foundation.
-The Debian Project began in 1993, when Ian Murdock issued an open
-invitation to software developers to contribute to a complete and
-coherent software distribution based on the relatively new Linux
-kernel. That relatively small band of dedicated enthusiasts,
-originally funded by the
-<ulink url="&url-fsf-intro;">Free Software Foundation</ulink>
-and influenced by the
-<ulink url="&url-gnu-intro;">GNU</ulink>
-philosophy, has grown over the years into an organization of around

-Debian Developers are involved in a variety of activities, including
-<ulink url="&url-debian-home;">Web</ulink>
-and <ulink url="&url-debian-ftp;">FTP</ulink>
-site administration, graphic design, legal analysis of
-software licenses, writing documentation, and, of course, maintaining
-software packages.

-In the interest of communicating our philosophy and attracting
-developers who believe in the principles that Debian stands for, the
-Debian Project has published a number of documents that outline our
-values and serve as guides to what it means to be a Debian Developer:

-Any maintainer can introduce new software into Debian &mdash; provided
-that the software meets our criteria for being free, and the package

-(LSB) is a project aimed at standardizing the basic GNU/Linux system,

-The

-their efforts on designing programs, without having to worry about how
-the package will be installed in different GNU/Linux distributions.
