-The idea of Hyperbola was born in FISL17 (Porto Alegre, Brazil) when people encouraged [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#coadde|coadde]] and [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] to develop a fully free distribution based on Arch in combination with Debian level stability. Additional ideas such as building all packages from source instead of through a version control system, providing strong checksum (eg. SHA512) and signature verification, was inspired by [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Gaming4JC|Gaming4JC]]. In turn, this inspired [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] to develop the [[en:main:packaging_guidelines|Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines]] and make an organized distribution.+The idea of Hyperbola was born in FISL17 (Porto Alegre, Brazil) when people encouraged [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#coadde|coadde]] and [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] to develop a fully free distribution based on Arch in combination with Debian level stability.
