> ## Devuan has a _wishlist_!

>
>    - Maintain a package

>        packaging and maintaining it. This documentation will guide you
>        through the process:
>        <https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=549>

>
>    - Donate a hosted machine (bare metal)
>        If you or your company can host a machine that we can use, with
>        root access, as part of our online service infrastructure, we'd
>        be very grateful. We plan to strenghten our online presence
>        with a revamped core infrastructure plan between 2017 and 2018
>        so this is the time to step forward. We can well consider this
>        as sponsorship.

>
>    - Host a mirror
>        Have extra bandwidth?  Please consider hosting a mirror of
>        Devuan images/repos. Get in touch with Devuan developers on IRC
>        at (`#devuan-dev` on freenode) to discuss details

>
>    - Build a local community

>
>     - Translate language packs for FluxBB

> ## Enterprise support
>
> Some of the world-class experts behind Devuan are now ready to provide
> enterprise-level support and customised builds of Devuan derivatives,
> crafted with great attention and love for details.
>
> In particular two companies, one in New Zealand (Centurion Computer
> Technology) and one in Amsterdam (Dyne Solutions) are willing to
> extend their offer to new customers interested in adopting Devuan as a
> base distribution for embedded devices or cloud images or any other
> use for which a certified build of Devuan can be a solution.
>
> Plans are there to provide at competitive cost a custom, certified
> image of this GNU+Linux based distribution, running ad-hoc software
> with certified updates and a privilege escalation model that is
> hard-coded and leaves no space for surprises.
>

> ## Related projects
>
> Here is a short list of projects which use Devuan as a base OS for
> their research and development:
>
> - Dowse - the IoT awareness Hub which won the ISOC NL Innovation prize
> 2016 is based on Devuan and just released its 1.0 beta:
> <https://dowse.eu>
>
> - DECODE - An R&D project on data sovereignty and blockchain
> technology financed by the EU Commission is based on Devuan:
> <https://decodeproject.eu>

> - heads - a live distro focused on privacy, security, and freedoms,
> experimenting with Devuan Ascii, and having a workshop this July @
> <http://2017.rmll.info>: <https://heads.dyne.org>

>
> ## Init Freedom
>
> Devuan is about choice. We think people should be able to choose
> whether to use a GNU+Linux system with or without systemd.
>
> Devuan decided to fork not only the base distribution, but also its
> governance, because Debian has made it difficult to avoid systemd as
> init, entangling the system with unnecessary dependencies and did so
> despite widespread community concern. We encourage potential Devuan
> users who wish to install systemd to use Debian's installer, Debian's
> packages and Debian's mailing lists, all available directly from
> Debian's mirrors.
>
> Devuan is the Debian that was and could have been. Our goal is to
> provide a viable and sustainable alternative. It is a new path,
> nurtured with your help and support.

> happy hacking ;^)
