Primero que nada, gracias a los que creyeron que podia pasar, y gracias a los que no, por al menos compartir las noticias. Es muy importante que se sepa, y que los que no estan de acuerdo con systemd, se unan y participen en lo que sepan y puedan, incluso se ha metido gente de ArchLinux.

Dear Init-Freedom lovers, the Veteran Unix Admin collective salutes you!
Our project is called "Devuan".
Devuan is spelled in Italian and it is pronounced just like "DevOne" in English.
Devuan developers can be contacted with an email to developers@devuan.org.
OK guys, nevermind the name, but what's the plan?
We started setting up the first bits of a
core infrastructure to host a website, mailinglists and a Dak based
package repository.
We are uploading materials on the https://github.com/devuan group which we plan to use as a development platform, at least in this initial phase.
We are going to setup a BTS allowing us to
inherit many useful Debian development tools and we plan to have a
continuous integration system for our packages going from GitHub to a Jenkins builder and then to our repositories.
We plan to innovate many of the tools that were historically used in Debian development, still mainaining stable, testing and unstable package repositories that users and downstream can use.
Soon we will be ready to welcome package maintainers
and then we will focus on refining the continuous integration pipeline
and the communication infrastructure. Besides the package-specific BTS
we are going to use GitHub issues to coordinate tasks.
The first package of Devuan is
devuan-baseconf: a Debian installer with preseed of sysvinit-core
and a couple of devuan packages containing a keyring, repository list
files and pinnings. Once installed and updated this package avoids the
requirement of systemd as PID 1 and adopts systemd-shim when strictly needed.What Devuan should be then? is it really a fork?
This is just the start of a process, as bold
as it sounds to call it a fork of Debian. This exodus is ultimately
being a relief for some of us and should lead to the creation a peaceful space for work we are well able to do. To help with this adventure and its growth, we ask you to get involved, but also to donate money so that we can cover the costs of setting the new infrastructure in place.
Devuan aims to be a base distribution whose mission is protect the freedom of its community of users and developers.
Its priority is to enable diversity, interoperability and backward
compatibility for existing Debian users and downstream distributions
willing to preserve Init freedom.
Devuan will derive its own installer and
package repositories from Debian, modifying them where necessary, with
the first goal of removing systemd, still inheriting the Debian development workflow
while continuing it on a different path: free from bloat as a
minimalist base distro should be. Our objective for 2Q-2015 is that
Users will be able to switch from Debian 7 to Devuan 1 smoothly, as if
they would dist-upgrade to Jessie, and start using our package
repositories.
Devuan will make an effort to rebuild an infrastructure similar to Debian, but will also take the opportunity to innovate some of its practices.
Devuan developers look at this project as a fresh new start for a
community of interested people and do not intend to enforce the vexation
hierarchy and bureaucracy beyond real cases of emergency. We are well
conscious this is possible for us mostly because of starting small again; we will do our best to not repeat the same mistakes and we welcome all Debian Developers willing to join us on this route.
The Devuan distribution will make an effort to improve the relationship with both upstream and downstream
and, particularly in its gestational phase, will do its best to
accomodate needs of those downstream distributions willing to adopt it
as base. We look forward to statements of interest from such distributions, as well involvement in this planning phase.
Devuan will do its best to stay minimal and abide to the UNIX philosophy of "doing one thing and doing it well". Devuan perceives itself not as an end product, but a starting point for developers, a viable base for sysadmins and a stable tool for people who have experience of Debian.
Devuan will never compromise for more efficiency at the cost of the the
freedom of its users, rather than leave such concerns to the
independent choices made by downstream developers.
If you need Devuan, then join it and support it now!

Happy hacking! :&^)
Como ven, la cosa va en serio y ya hay fecha para la release numero 1. Hay que ver que va a pasar con Ubuntu y derivadas no? si se van a acoger a Debian porque no les quedaba otra, o... van a seguir el curso de Devuan.
Que ayuda se necesita? como se ve, developers, empaquetadores y quienes quieran mantener esto:
