Fresh "academic paper" with "Debian affiliation"

This might be the first academic paper where any DD had listed Debian
project among affiliations.  So if you just need a precedent for with your
editor/publisher -- here it is:

Open is not enough. Let’s take the next step: an integrated,
community-driven computing platform for neuroscience

ah -- we  still remain then the first listing "Debian PROJECT" ;)

but now this begs the question -- what should be the canonical
affiliation we should use?  

The discussion on what Debian is (Debian Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Debian
OS, etc) comes back from time to time, but imho it is irrelevant here
since those all refer to the product not the "institution" we should
associate ourselves with.  www.debian.org refers to the "Debian
project" while talking about Debian as an institution, and seems to be
more appropriate.  Or ... ?

Note that recently the -www team has started uniforming things on that
front, at least for what concerns our web presence. Given that "Debian
GNU/Linux" is not necessarily correct anymore (we have several kernels…,
the choice, AFAIU, is to use solely "Debian" when details don't matter,
and to list flavors (Debian GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/Hurd) when they
do. Which totally makes sense.

I think that to refer to Debian as an institution, we should
consistently use "Debian Project". We do that in legal-ish contexts
("signed/represented by foo, on behalf of the Debian Project"). I think
we --- actually, you :-) --- should do the same for scientific
publications.

Cheers.

thanks -- full ACK on my side.  Next paper should reflect that (this
time we primarily referred Debian as "Debian OS" in the paper).

we --- me and Michael --- already have done that correctly then
(even the capitalization was correct in the affiliation line ;-) ).

No, Debian is not affiliated with Canonical. It's the other way
around, if anything.
