FAQ

Q: What is BlankOn Revival Project?
A: An attempt to bring back the long-dormant BlankOn project from the depths of /dev/null

Q: How can I contribute?
A: Until the revival is complete, we will be operating with technical contributors only. We are opening positions for core contributors, but the selection process will be strict for several reasons. We collaborate in public Telegram group where anyone can watch and join the movements then let the contribution happened naturally. We also desperately need donations in the form of hardware, bandwidth (server colocation), or cold hard cash. We've got transparent reports here to show where every rupiah goes. Please contact @senyumslamet if you want to donate.

Q: What are the criteria to become a core contributor the revival project?
To become one, you need to prove just how geeky you really are and the willingness to get your hand dirty with your terminal emulator. Gen-Z is preferred, although we don’t have a hard limit on that. Bring the spirit, prove you’re one of us then you’re in.

Q: How to apply?
A: Please send your CV to herpiko@gmail.com then we will prepare an interview session for you.

Q: I am a former contributor of BlankOn, can I join?
A: Please send your CV to herpiko@gmail.com then we will prepare an interview session for you.

Q: Is this a place to learn from scratch?
A: Not yet. Definitely not right now. At this stage, we need people who already have intermediate Linux skills and an unhealthy amount of curiosity to help make this revival actually work. Mentors won’t feed you from zero. You should already be comfortable living inside a terminal and occasionally arguing with it.

Q: What can I expect from the project? What is new in BlankOn?
A: After the revival, BlankOn will reinforce its original goal of improving/leveraging people's capabilities by opening a broader range of non-technical roles. BlankOn will also lower contribution barriers while enforcing a stricter Code of Conduct, aimed at ensuring the inclusivity and keeping the community healthy and contributor-friendly. The project will also work to maintain an optimal ratio of technical to non-technical contributors to make the technical product (at this point, a Linux distribution) sustainable and healthy.

Q: What is the success metric of the revival?
A: You can download and install a fully-fledged, brand-new BlankOn Linux image, built, baked, and shipped directly from IRGSH. If you can boot it, run it, and hack on it, that is our revival milestone.

Q: Mengapa situs web ini tidak ditulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia?
A: Situs web ini akan dibangun ulang dalam multi bahasa setelah kami berhasil membangkitkan proyek. Ngomong-ngomong, kemampuan Berbahasa Inggris adalah peningkatan kapasitas manusia yang juga menjadi tujuan proyek.
