Luis Ivan Cuende, third-year student at the College ESO Auseva of Oviedo, only 14 years has been able to develop a Linux distribution named "Asturix." It is not your first project. Luis Ivan has been working as a developer and implementing several web projects and started a blog, is now leader of a super English project that is used by several English and Latin American as well.
1. What is Asturix, what is your main target? Asturix is \u200b\u200ba GNU / Linux that gives users a friendly environment in which to function and whose major goal is to bring free software to the novice user. Asturix has several versions:
-Business: For businesses or production environments
-Desktop: For domestic environments
-Lite: For computers with low incomes, microportátiles or tablets.
2. What suggestions the idea of \u200b\u200bdeveloping this distribution and those are behind this great project?
At first emerged as a personal initiative to create the first operating system born in Asturias, but now has much more ambitious goals and is no longer a personal initiative, but for many people.
Behind this project is Asturix community, composed of volunteers who love free software and like a lot of power and improve it. Ricardo, Eduardo, Kean, Joaquim, Bellarmine, Luis Miguel ... people who want to collaborate with the project by offering their bit to build the mountain is now Asturix.
3. Why should we use and what are the characteristics that differ from other distributions?
If you are a basic user, you should use Asturix for several reasons:
-By having several versions (Business, Desktop & Lite) fits the environment without manual configuration.
"In some aspects such as appearance, try to emulate Windows to facilitate the migration of the user.
-offers full compatibility with Windows, is integrated into their networks, read your files, and even run some of its applications.
-CADI Asturix 3 will incorporate an advanced center configuration, YWC, web application integration and Asturix Asturix Store, a web portal Asturix applications.
4. How is funding the project and how can contribute from the free software community?
actually
This project is not funded by anyone. Since I created neither I nor anyone in the community we have seen financial rewards our work. Even if we have sponsors who offer their servers and RedIRIS, Yestilo or AsturHosting and other organizations that support the project as spreading AreaTIC or the University of Oviedo and recently, the Government of the Principality of Asturias.
5. On the other hand we know that behind this great project to a very active teen and above all a great developer. Why education should use free software as teenagers like you should take advantage of these tools?
Because education should open the mind to the students, and what better to do that free software. You can not educate by providing the exclusive use of a tool because it promotes monopolies and links the base of every country, education company to one which depends for everything. Furthermore, the use of free software encourages the sharing of knowledge and entrepreneurship and implementation of ideas.
6. What would be the message to young Peruvians who want to develop and contribute to free software?
Well that just a computer and an Internet connection can take huge thanks to free software projects. Also tell them they have a great platform to work on free software and all of Latin America has great potential when it comes to free software.
7. Please we want to give a greeting to users Asturix Peruvian earrings are sure that new and perhaps contribute to the project
Asturix have many users in Peru and is an open project, so any Peruvian could be encouraged collaborate with the project through the forum (http://foro.asturix.com) or community (http://asturix.org) or simply using and disseminating Asturix. People who like even more the project can join the Dev Team, the heart of Asturix composed people more willing to learn and collaborate.
On behalf of the entire community Asturix greetings to all users and to assure Peruvians that we will continue working to improve day by day Asturix.
