Good to know that there are more DDs being paid to work on what they like and also very good to know that the project include colaborating with Debian. Can I ask you how do you plan to build your derived distribution? Have you looked at the Custom Debian Distributions ideas? I'm asking that because I feel we need a common (standard) way to build Custom and Derived Distributions and I think all people involved in this kind of distributions can contribute with ideas and tools and I will love to see companies like yours getting involved in CDDs. > We're preparing for an initial release in the near future so at the moment > all of our energy is going towards fixing release critical Debian bugs and > sending these patches back to Debian.
