<h2 class="title">Parabola Presentation</h2>
<p>In 2009 we started a project to offer the Free Software
community the chance of using an Arch system completely
freed from nonfree software.</p>
<p>Today we have repositories and installable images of this wonderful
GNU/Linux distribution from which we have eliminated the nonfree 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 nonfree 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 Arch</h3>
<p>Following the minimalist, KISS, spirit of Arch, we have managed to
achieve its freedom in a simple way. To free your Arch 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 Arch 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 nonfree package, or a package
with nonfree parts, report it as a bug.</li>
<li>Host repositories. Mirrors are not abundant.</li>
<li>Take a look at our <a href="{% wiki_url 'TODO' %}" title="TODO">TODO list</a></li>
</ul>
