[Starlingx-discuss] Debian as an Associate Member of the OpenInfra Foundation

[Short, Charles]

Hi,

I am pretty sure we don't have any official Debian Developers working on StarlingX but we would love to collaborate with Debian, and possible contribute patches that we are carry back to Debian.

Regards
chuck

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.
