    <h2 class="title">Parabola Presentation</h2>

    <p>Almost a year ago we started a project to offer the Free Software
    community the chance of using an Archlinux system completely freed from
    proprietary software.</p>

    <p>Today we have repositories and installable images of this wonderful
    GNU/Linux distribution from which we have eliminated the non-free software
    contained in its official repositories and which we have replaced with libre
    alternatives whenever we could.</p>
    
    <p>The first example is Linux-libre, the kernel without blobs nor nonfree
    firmware. Followed by GNU IceCat, the libre fork of Mozilla Firefox that
    doesn't recommend non-libre addons, and that in our case neither recommends
    services that spy on you like the Google search engine.</p>

    <h3>Why you should use Parabola</h3>

    <p>Parabola equals software freedom plus all power to the users. GNU plus
    ArchWay. With a continuosly updated system, simple to manage, simple to
    package, you can build your own operating system in the way you want and
    learn a lot along the way.</p>

    <h3>Free Archlinux</h3>

    <p>Following the minimalist, KISS, spirit of Arch, we have managed to
    achieve its freedom in a simple way. To free your Archlinux installation,
    just install our libre repositories list and update your system.</p>
    
    <p>No reinstallation needed.</p>

    <h3>Participate</h3>

    <p>Boring tasks are always available. We want to start new projects. We want
    to help people have servers of their own, with services of their own, with
    Parabola Social. We want people to remix their own Archlinux and share it
    with the rest of the world.</p>
    
    <p>We want Free Software with a social utility for a libre society.</p>
    
    <p>But we need your help. If all of us share a little of the boring work,
    we'll have more time to do the really fun stuff.</p>
    
    <p>Remaining tasks:</p>
      
    <ul>
        <li>Audit repositories. If you find a non-libre package, or a package
        with non-libre parts, report it as a bug.</li>

        <li>Host repositories. Mirrors are not abundant.</li>
