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.
