Are you thinking of making it the full meeting, or having an item where a distro gets to talk about their delta, why its there, and discuss ways of merging it back? > How do we bring patches back into Debian?

Pabs' script may end up providing us information like this (the mining part at least). > Feel free to reply to this thread if you don't think comments on my > topic are appropriate for the agenda. Sounds good, whichever way of setting it out you thought ;) Rough agenda (so far): - total meeting time 60 min - introductions 10-15 min - your item above, 30 min(?) - other stuff 15 min - wrap up 1 min Your item/other stuff will be clarified when i understand exactly what you're proposing. The items look good, just not sure how you're suggesting it happens. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK7FOSS) http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
