    Dear Debian Project Team and Community,

    My name is Abdellah Agtaib, and I am 16 years old from Morocco. I am
    writing to you today with great admiration for what you are
    accomplishing and with a humble request for guidance.

    I am the initiator of a personal project called UjaroOS. It is a Linux distribution that I am developing on the solid base of Debian. My dream
    is to create a simple, efficient, and user-friendly operating system specifically for use in schools. My goal is to help maintain and support
    the older hardware that the majority of schools are currently using by utilizing the lightweight Sway tiling window manager, and preinstalling
    it with required educational software so it is easy for teachers and
    students to use.

    As a beginner developer who is yet to learn, I have great admiration for Debian's philosophy and work quality. While UjaroOS is a small,
    independent project, I would want to ensure that I am following the best practices, especially in the use of the Debian name and trademarks.

    Thanks for your time and efforts in developing the universal operating
    system upon which projects such as mine are possible. Debian project
    work is something that inspires me, and I hope that UjaroOS someday can
    be used to help bring the promise of Free Software to more students in
    my area and others.

    Best regards,

    Abdellah Agtaib
    UjaroOS Project Developer

    Hi there,

    your dream is a worthy goal.

    We have a "Debian Pure Blend" called Debian Edu (formerly Skolelinux)
    which has a very similar ambition. Are you aware of it?
