<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120425">announced the

|
| 42 : |

<q>Preserving user freedoms in the cloud is a tricky business and one of
|
| 43 : |
|

the major challenges ahead for Free Software. By easing the deployment of

Debian-based private clouds we want to help our users in resisting the

lure of giving up their freedoms in exchange of some flexibility,</q>
