Bravo pour cette initiative, il serait dommage que le public anglophone ne profite pas de ce bel ouvrage. Bien amicalement, Philippe.

Cet ouvrage est une bible francophone, en priver les adeptes de la langue de Shakespear eût été criminel ;-)
Je soutient donc ce projet de traduction et remercie au travers de ce soutient R. Hertzog et R. Mas pour leur travail et le support qu'il m'ont apporté au travers des versions précédentes.
Ne changez rien !

Bravo pour cette excellente initiative ! Libérer un livre est toujours une bonne idée, surtout quand il est au sujet de ma distribution de choix...

Hello!

First of all apologies but my English is very bad!

I inserted the widget (http://debian-handbook.info...) to facilitate promotion of the project and I've noticed that when you click on the page redirects but always within the iframe. I mention this so they can review.

Greetings!

R. Hertzog and R. Mas have been an instrumental part of Debian GNU/Linux for a long time. This book is a shinning example of their contribution and FSF France is proud to participate.

Saulfec, thanks for the report, I fixed the links! That was a pretty stupid mistake... :-)

Wow, I did not expect this endorsement by the Free Software Foundation France, thank you very much!

Hope the liberation target is reached! As it's currently lagging quite a bit behind I contributed only to that.

raphaelhertzog
raphaelhertzog said 2011n Sept. 29, 2011

markshep, the liberation fund lags by design. The money pledged towards the liberation fund is also counted in the "base funding" target. But it's true that I would have expected more people giving only to the liberation fund knowing that once the book is free, they would get a copy a too.

I have been a debian user for several years. It will be a great plus to have the Admin book available in English. Thank you.

Hi, just to be perfectly clear: if I donate € X and choose no reward, all of those X Euro will go for the translation and liberation of the Book, right?

Stupid question: if I pledge X€, all contributing to the liberation fund and then the base target is reached but not the liberation target, what happends ?

raphaelhertzog
raphaelhertzog said 2011n Oct. 9, 2011

Gregoire, we'll make sure anyone who contributed at least 5 EUR to the liberation fund gets a copy of the ebook even if the liberation target is not reached.

amacater
amacater said 2011n Oct. 10, 2011

I liked the idea of this book enough that I bought a copy in French of the Lenny edition. Both of the authors are extremely capable: as a long time Debian user and developer I was very impressed and learnt quite a lot I should already have known :)

Any new edition will be equally good: the prospect of an English translation means that I can confidently recommend a well written book specifically on Debian to fellow system administrators. This is very much needed

Excellente idée, j'ai maximisé mon don pour la libération du livre. Bonne chance et bon courage!

raphaelhertzog said 2011n Oct. 23, 2011

Thank you everybody, we reached the first target today. Keep up the good work promoting the project, we still have to convince many persons to support the project to ensure the liberation fund reaches its goal of 25 K€.

See http://debian-handbook.info... for some more information.

tonybaldwin said 2011n Oct. 26, 2011

I offered to assist with translation. I am both, a Debian user, AND, a professional translator of French to English (as well as Spanish and Portuguese to English see baldwinlinguas.com ). Since Debian and other FOSS tools have paid my rent and fed my family for over a decade, it seems appropriate, to me.

raphaelhertzog
raphaelhertzog said 2011n Nov. 17, 2011

With the release of the sample chapter (see http://debian-handbook.info...), we have entered the last step of this campaign.

Thank you everybody, you have been awesome. But it's not finished yet, there's less than 10 days left to reach 100% for the liberation fund. Feel free to use the free chapter to convince other persons to join the movement to get this book freed!

I live in Maine in the USA. Times are hard with finances here but I have to express my gratitude and appreciation for what you all do.
I am a debian user for three years now and it has changed my life. The preview chapters have shown me things I still don't know about.
Its hard to get great source information with translation.
