Today one year ago was the official start of sidux with the first 2 users registered on the forum, with many more to follow in the days after.I remember well the time about 15 months ago.
We were all working with and for this other distribution and we were all frustrated. Some had already left the project. No release in sight, nobody knew what was going to happen, communication between team and project leader was more or less non existant.
We all saw a basically good project going down the drain, for some of us after 3 years of work invested and we could not do much about it.
All of us were pondering on what to do and when and how to do it. What helped making a decision was the anouncement from the project leader to change the base of the distro to something other than debian unstable. After that, things started moving fast, hours later slam had set up sidux forum, irc to follow soon after, we agreed on the name sidux and off we went.
Attention as well as expectations on the project were high from the start so after a few days we set up this declaration which defines our goals and i think they were fullfilled and sidux went quite far in one year.
My idea saying happy birthday was, to ask people that were with the project from the beginning to give some personal insight of their feelings about our project. Some have found the time to do so and so here they are:
While sidux is approaching its first birthday, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of the sidux 2007-04 "Ερως" release for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in a ≈445 MB KDE lite and a ≈680 MB KDE full flavour.
sidux is a full featured Debian sid based live CD with a special focus on hard disk installations, a clean upgrade path within sid and additional hard- and software support. The ISO is completely based on Debian sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.
It has been a turbulent week behind the scenes of Debian sid, with an accidental glibc upload, a broken openssl version (#449200) affecting wpasupplicant and ries.debian.org (ftp-master) breaking down due to filesystem problems. Nevertheless it is time to continue the preview season with our second preview heading towards our fourth sidux release "Ερως", concentrating on further X.org 7.3/ xrandr 1.2 and X detection testing and finalizing the driver selection for various wlan cards (please report any issues here). As usual the previews are shipping only as a small (≈460 MB), but fully functional, KDE-lite flavour, to ease up testing and xdelta uploads and will be accompanied by ≈700 MB KDE-full variants for the final release.

After quite some delays from our planned schedule, due to X.org 7.3 related issues of varying severity, sidux 2007-04 "Ερως" is now ready to enter the preview season for amd64 and i686 systems.
