Debian - The Universal Operating System - The Philosophy and Community that drives it

Many of you might be already familiar with “Debian” as a GNU/Linux distribution. Debian is not just a technical project, i.e. the Operating System, it is also a Community of people. Here, I want to talk about the philosophy and community that drives the Debian Operating System.

Debian is an association of individuals, who share a common goal - to create a free* operating system, freely available to all. Debian has more than a thousand Debian Developers (and numerous other contributors) spread across the world. Ever wondered how Debian functions? Let us find out.

*free as in freedom, not money.
