[01] WHAT IS PROJECT TWENEX? HOW CAN I BECOME INVOLVED?
|
|
|
|
Project TWENEX is a microcosm of the Free Software Movement and is
|
|
comprised wholey of SDF members. The idea is to create a central
|
|
catalogue of software for use on SDF and other systems. While
|
|
there are no platform restrictions, it is required that all software
|
|
is free of the restrictions of Open Source and other licenses.
|
|
|
|
Why TWENEX? Because this is about HACKING and TWENEX (as well as
|
|
other systems and the communities built around them) were always
|
|
about HACKING. Its meant to be used reverently, with respect
|
|
to those who worked on the PDP-8, PDP-10, Multics, LISPM(s) and
|
|
other interesting computers. It is also meant as a history lesson
|
|
to show the misguided that real HACKERS care about people and do
|
|
not participate in criminal or malicious activities.
|
|
|
|
You can become involved by writing free software. If you are a
|
|
MetaARPA member on SDF, you can install your own software in the
|
|
appropriate directories so all users can benefit. If you don't
|
|
program so well, you can participate by critiquing software from
|
|
a user's point of view.
|
|
|
|
For now, the official site is http://twenex.net. This is the portal
|
|
to the catalogue, source and comments. As well, all software
|
|
associated with the project is kept in /sys/sdf. There is a BBOARD
|
|
named 'TWENEX' for members to communicate and make announcements.
