The Open Wikipedia News Paper

The Wikipedia VS The Open Wikipedia.
By Justin Breithaupt.

Well today I was asked to call the Wikipedia and speak to an attorney there. He seems honest and upfront and tells me that we must change our name. We decided to change the name to pediaopeness instead of open wikipedia because the name was available. I'm having mixed feelings about the phone call however. Now that I have time to digest what was being said I realise that they told me that I legally had to give them www.openwikipedia.org the domain. I registered that domain name and I think that legaly I should be able to keep it. I think that after a few weeks of transitioning to pediaopeness.org I'll just stop redirectiong www.openwikipeida.org to this site and hold on to it because it's worth much more than the $6.99 I paid for it as similar sites cost $300.00 to buy like openpedia.org. If you have any feedback I'm all ears.

The PediaOpeness News Paper Opens!
by Justin breithaupt

I started this living news paper because news should never end. I think it's cool to have people writing news each day. This paper should be split up into sections like Computers, Food, TV, Movies, Microsoft, GNU/Linux, Mac, Weather, Deaths, Adds, ect. Just put your article under the appropriate date and subject just like you see here. If your article makes it as a top storry I'll put it under the Front Page section. (Don't do that yourself) You can nominate your own article or another article for Front Page status.

The Purpose of Ultumix GNU/Linux

Our purpose is simple. Mainly we accept feedback from current Microsoft Windows users or GNU/Linux noobs and try to solve their problems or meet their expectations. If we don't know how then we ask others to help us. An example of this would be when my Mother complained that she could not find templates or clip art in OpenOffice.org in Ultumix. I added all the open source clip art and templates I could find. Recently we just discovered that there is a fully GNU/Linux compatible Yahoo Instant Messenger. We plan on adding it to our arsenal of programs that are pre-installed. One thing we have learned is that we can minimize install time and frustration if we have the most commonly used programs pre-installed to increase functionality. By doing simple things like configuring OpenOffice.org to save in .doc, .xls, and .ppt formats we can make the user feel more comfortable. Support for Microsoft applications is important as well and eventually we want to give cash rewards for help in that area. Mainly overall our goal is just to get people to use GNU/Linux without becoming frustrated and moving back to Microsoft Windows or Mac. Currently we can get 9 out of 10 users to switch from Windows XP or Vista to Ultumix but only if we install it for them or give them a live demonstration. Otherwise our approval rate for the general public that downloads our software is around 50% and it is always changing. There is a FLEKTOR counter that you can use on our main page.

People Who Help Us

Ken Starks, Edwin Hallgrimson, Clem (with Linux Mint), Thomas with www.thenixedreport.com, Richard Stallman helps us with PR and others help us as well.

We founded www.pediaopeness.org

On 05/04/2008 pediaopeness was formed in the same way the United States declared itself independent. The administrative staff at the Wikipedia informed us that they did not offer the freedom of speech and that shocked us greatly so we felt it necessary to liberate people from the Wikipedia. More Info Click Here. Now the open exchange of information on the internet is free and open the way it should be, only restricted by US laws and good morals.

We Put Tux In The 2008 Olympus Rally (X-Games Tryouts) [7]

Similar to the Tux 500 that put an Indy car in the Indianapolis 500 I decided to put TUX on 4 4x4 foot signs and place them at 4 race tracks in Garfield County. You can watch the race and look at pictures by going here: [8] . You can also find other fun videos that we made to promote GNU/Linux at

GNUConsumer.com

After having trouble with newegg.com and PayPal we decided to start GNUConsumer.com [9] where anyone is encouraged to write a review on any product or service and let the world know what they should use and stay away from.

A Little History

Back in 2001 - 2002 a man who worked for Microsoft developing DOS - Windows 98+ retired and came back to my small town. He told me about SUSE Linux and demonstrated it to me. I was very frustrated because it was so different. I fiddled with it while using Windows XP for years. Finally when I was still in college I decided I liked GNU/Linux so much (after having been force fed it by my college) that I wanted to figure out how to make it simple for others including myself so that we would not need to use the Konsole or Terminal as much as possible. I started with PCLinuxOS 2007 and it seemed good for a while and then I decided to remaster it. The PCLinuxOS community didn't like this so they banned me from their site. Then I decided to go with Linux Mint and it worked very well until ENVY stopped installing NVIDIA and ATI drivers automatically and the Screen saver and resolution settings didn't work either. I'm currently working on a lite Slackware version, 32 bit and 64 bit Kubuntu based version for Windows users, and a Ubuntu (32 and 64 bit version) based version for Macintosh users. This time it's so demanding I'm going to have someone else make the Slackware version for me. Yes there is other history but I think I can save that for the Critics section.

Critics

As far as we can tell 90% of our critics don't like what we are doing because I support my local Lutheran Church (Christian) [10] . I feel that this is freedom of speech and that it should have no reflection on how people respond to Ultumix. We found that almost all of the people involved in the Anti-Christian movement were forum moderators from another distribution which we won't mention. The rest of the critics were Jehovah's witness. We received countless anonymous forum posts and personal e-mails from these extremest Anti-Christian groups. This was when I contacted Richard Stallman for help. He gave me wise words of wisdom which resulted in some final responses and this [11] FAQ page we came up with to silence them. Also according to the moderators at Yahoo Answers it's against their policy to allow us to answer people with the solution of using Ultumix GNU/Linux. I asked several Yahoo Answers users if they could explain why Yahoo Answers excluded us from their site. We made no mention of previous critics or why we thought that we were excluded. The response was that they thought it was because of our Christian involvement. Despite these attacks we will not give in to terrorism that would remove the freedom of speech from us. We enjoy good criticism related to our Ultumix GNU/Linux project as far as software and our UI but we don't want to hear about why you think Christianity should not be supported.

Policy and Rules

ultumix — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:59:32 CDT

We are not responsible for what you post or don't post online. If your under 18 you must ask your parents for permission first before you sign up. If your under 18 we also don't recommend you post personal photos.

Obey the laws of the United States.
Don't try to make people angry intentionally.
Don't cuss, swear, or describe obscene sexual actions or perversions or post any perverted graphics or pictures.
The rules of posting facts that are negative are as follows: Put all negative comments about something under the Criticism topic. If your fact or comment is relative to another section please don't worry. Your Criticism section should not be that big so you should be able to fit all the criticism under the criticism section.

There is a difference between factual criticism and just plain facts.
- Factual Criticism: Microsoft controls what users can and can not do by making them sign an unconstitutional agreement.
- Fact: Microsoft's End User License Agreement requires users to forfeit certain rights to privacy, what they can and can not do on their computers, and their right to redistribute the software or change it in any way such as but not limited to removing Internet Explorer.

Administrators are to enforce these rules only when absolutely necessary.

When a user is causing disruption that other users are complaining about.
When a user is breaking a US Law or displaying profanity.
When a user is trying to Troll or make people angry on purpose to get a response. This must be brought to the attention of another moderator / administrator before coming to the conclusion that this is taking place.

Users will be warned as follows:

Administrators will issue a warning to the user no matter how long they have used the Open Wikipedia and ask them to take care of the issue. The user then has 3 business days to respond or take action but porn, cussing, and sexual content can be removed immediately.
If the issue persists the Administrator will remove or change the content and send the user a copy of the original along with an extended warning asking the user to respond as soon as they are able and to explain themselves.
If the user repeats the offense after being warned his account will be limited until the dispute is addressed. If the user fails to agree or comply with the Administrator's demands then the Administrator “Must” put it before the entire board of Administrators to look over.
If the user and the executive board of Administrators can't work out a deal then the user will be suspended until further notice. No user will be suspended indefinitely. Users will always have a chance to renew their account.
If after an executive decision has been made to suspend an account a user wants to have rights to edit the Open Wikipedia again they will be expected to write a 1,000 word essay in plain English on what they did wrong, why it was wrong, why they won't do it again, why we should trust them, and what they will do after we give them back their account access.
If a user completes the requirements in a respectful manner then we will renew his account after looking over the essay. The user will be on probation for 30 days and if they break the policy in any way they will be removed. They also won't have the right to post any criticism while they are on probation.
