Hi everyone, I invite everyone interested to join the Utnubu Team. Utnubu stands for doing what Ubuntu does, just the other way around: We want to take the things Ubuntu does and that are missing in Debian, and - where appliciable - put them in Debian. This should be achieved using (at least) the following methods: * Having a look at the patches that Ubuntu publishes, see if they are suitable for Debian and then contact the Debian Maintainer to see if and how these can be integrated. * Contacting Ubuntu developers that upload directly to universe, if they don't want to upload to Debian, too; this includes sponsoring. Note that I do not plan to pull developers from Ubuntu, they should instead form their package for both distributions. * If this is not possible or feasable, take Ubuntu-only packages, adjust them to Debian and upload them ourselves. (Personally, I'd like to concentrate on point 2 and 3, so another reason for you to join) I have set up the alioth project utnubu, as well as the mailing lists utnubu-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org for general in-group discussion, as well as utnubu-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org for the maintainer field of our possible packages. A list of binary package in universe, but not in Debian, is assembled on http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/utnubu/ Those who are at DebConf and are interested: You are welcome to see me and discuss matters in person. Thanks for your attention, and looking forward to working with you, Joachim Breitner -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: joachimbreitner@amessage.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
