Kuliax Log

Another good news, we have created new sub-project: Kuliax Kernel. The tasks are tinkering with Linux kernel, dealing with patches, optimization, package building, new kernel features test, and also considering new technology in Linux world to be implemented in Kuliax kernel.

If you ask us “why you created this new sub project?”, the answer is we all know that tinkering with kernel is somewhat time-consuming and need effort more than just compile
Our first member for this sub project is just stwn and you can find its page for 7.0 in http://kuliax.org/project/kuliax-7.0_kernel. To be the member of it is not decided yet. We need a procedure to work on it, yes a documentation.

Kuliax 7.0RC1 release is delayed, due to technical issues for its readiness. We knew that the schedule is subject-to-change, but we should do our best to stick with it.

We have been always trying to provide foundation for development  team and  strive to reach our goal. We are heading on it, although we may say it is hard to do the development: managing community and collaboration in distributed way. But at least we have learned something everyday, and of course we will fix all of “bugs” we found. Give us a hand if you want to, we are open for new community members in our development team.

Kuliax Project has been developing Kuliax 7.0 and has some projects that need a help from Linux/FOSS community. If you want to give a hand please read a simple page HOWTO Get Involved in Kuliax or Get Involved.

FYI, Kuliax is a complete Linux LiveCD distribution developed for desktop, research, and development use, especially in academic world. Kuliax is a community project and open for people to join in and contribute.

We hope Kuliax Development will catalyze and generate:

• Linux/FOSS developers, specifically Kuliax and Debian
• Local resources and community, so people always find many local sources and make use of them to grow each area in the world
• Some members in the community produce applications and sub-distribution for extending and spreading Linux/FOSS

We are always waiting and welcoming for your contribution.

Bali Open Source Software Seminar (BOSSS) is an FOSS event held in Denpasar, Bali from 2nd to 4th August 2007, organized by Komunitas Software Merdeka (KSM) Universitas Udayana (UNUD). Kuliax Project was invited to speak at that seminar on the topic of Developing Academic Freedom based-on Open Source that covered developing open source from campus, better education with open source, and FOSS for education.

We are happy to participate at that event along with AWALI, Mambo, and Government of Jembrana. Thank you KSM UNUD for the invitation and keep the spirit of FOSS!
