In December, I initiated a discussion on the general mailing list for SPI (Software in the Public Interest, the non-profit foundation which represents the Debian project) proposing that Debian join the OpenInfra Foundation as an Associate Member organization. You can find the conversation archived here: http://lists.spi-inc.org/pipermail/spi-general/2021-December/ It was suggested that getting input from Debian Developers on the matter would be the next step, and so we had follow-up replies from a DD who does much of the OpenStack packaging in Debian, as well as another DD who is on the OpenInfra Foundation board of directors. Recently, I realized that StarlingX's effort to build a Debian derivative distribution is another opportunity to show collaboration between our communities. If there are any official Debian Developers active within StarlingX, a post to the spi-general mailing list (you'll need to be subscribed in order to avoid a typically lengthy moderation wait) with your thoughts on the proposal would be most appreciated. -- Jeremy Stanley
