“In recognition of the importance of the open source
community, Progeny Linux Systems and Maximum Linux magazine are
holding a raffle for Debian GNU/Linux at LinuxWorld in New York.
The raffle will cost $3for each entry or $5 for three
entries.“
“The drawing will be held at 4 PM February 1 at the Maximum
Linux booth (Booth #469). Prizes will be presented by Ian Murdock,
president and CEO of Progeny, and Woody Hughes, Senior Editor of
Maximum Linux. All money raised will go to the Debian project.”
“Maximum Linux magazine and web site (http://maximumlinux.com)
wouldn’t exist without the efforts of the free software community,”
says Alison McCreery, Marketing Manager at Maximum Linux. “And the
Debian Project (www.debian.org) is a free software success story.
With over 6000 packages and nearly 600 developers, Debian is one of
the largest free software projects. They are extremely dedicated to
upholding the cooperative values of the free software movement and
have proven the value of open source development. The raffle is our
way of acknowledging their contribution.”
