Re: Anarchism: tell me more (was RE: Nimrod)

[Christophe Lincoln <pankso@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

It's maybe time for me to get in the discussion... I'm a anarchist from
Switzeland, I love freedom, I love humans, I love you. I'm not SliTaz
leader, I'm SliTaz funder and I hope you going to continue getting
involve in the project, getting responsabilities and assume them. I
read many times in this discussion that people don't speak good English,
it is also my case and sometime the reason I dont communicate. But as
other said, this time I will try.

When I funded SliTaz earlier in 2006 I was a youg man... with a lot of
hope, with hope about changing the world. I choosed Simple, Light
and Incredible Autonoumus Zone with the TAZ from Akim Bey in mind
because, yes, once again I'm an anarchist. But let say I would maybe
not choose this name today because people dont realy undersand what is
anarchisme or a TAZ even if they are bored by our capitalism system. I
also had a time when I was thinking that we are an operating system and
we should not be part of any politic or idealogy. But this is not true
for me, I code for freedom, I code freely because I think we can have a
better world for everyone.

Anarchy is order, we need organization to face the system and keep
alive the project. We must find a way so each indivudal find his place
in SliTaz and can be proud of himself.

Now let talk about the current reality, even with all our passion we
need resource to make SliTaz live. I would love to have the all project
autonomus but actually I must work in real life with capitalist to pay
SliTaz Tank, domains, etc and pay myself to be able to work on the
project a few months by year. SliTaz is small but actually a huge
project and we need more resource to evolve. We can evolve in a
community way with donation or in a economic way by making business
with the rest of the world... This is why I tried to get sponsors, I
just want SliTaz to be autonomus and independant, driven by the
community.

Nimrod... Yes binary are faster than SHell code but are more work and
complex. My consern is who will fix and improve Nimrod code in time ? As
a open-source distro we need contributors, how many people can
contribute on SHell code and how many people can contribute on Nimrod
code ? One thing I personaly find nice, is shared libraries/functions.
Example: a binary tool how can list packages and who can be used by
Tazpkg/Spk, TazPanel or whatever front-end! I think we can have binary
tools but only for generic/common functions like "ls", "wget" or
"install".

All I realy know is: SliTaz need you all, need you to evolve and each
big change MUST be discuss here. This is a big diffenrence against
capitalist projects... taking a decision in a collaborative and
community way take much longer time. If a boss stop the discussion and
take a decision, it goes faster but create frustrations... As an
technolgy projest we must find a balance between taking long community
decision and follow the system/flow... or we will die. In a anarchist
system you can join any community, but if you dont follow the
etablished rules you will get in trouble with the all community. That
said, you still free to create your own community with your own rules.
One time again, anarchy is order, everyone should find is palce in the
community or leave...

Please dont take this mail personnaly, I just express myself in a free
way. As you know or not... I'm not 365 days by years in front on my
computer, I love SliTaz and the all community but I also Love nature,
sex, good food and wine! SliTaz need strong and proficient people like
Pascal, Erjo, Paul, Mojo, Trixar, Aleksej, Frederic, Marcus, Alexander,
to evolve and get better. We also need and love our users, I guess they
give us motivation to work, so shooting out our personnal convictions
we should start by listing to our users. As developer we must also stay
open mind, stay portable, think as a community and with the project
penerity in mind.

Love, freedom and kisses,
- Christophe
