Re: LSB Compliance

[Stefan Schleifer <stefan.schleifer@linbit.com>]

talking about certification: are there any efforts/thoughts about
getting oracle certified? we have to use suse or redhat instead of
debian for most of the oracle installations due to certification (and 
therefore support from oracle).
we know, it's a matter of time and money.  but we would like to support 
these efforts in any way possible, if there are any. so maybe someone 
can guide me to the right contacts in the debian project.

cheers,
stefan.
