Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Name: [email protected]
Rationale:
I've been working in federating companies that have an interest in supporting
Debian in various ways. The kind of support here varies from stuff already
partially covered by the Debian partners program, to new stuff such as
companies that offer commercial support to Debian user and would like to
investigate how to work together and work on topics such as Debian hardware
certification, OEM, obtaining Debian certification for software their
customers need, etc.
The list I'm requesting is meant to become a forum for representative of such
companies.
I think Debian should offer an official forum for those companies to discuss,
welcoming the effort. Other than that, the discussion will be up to company
representatives.
Note: I'm aware of the existence of the debian-enterprise list, but the topic
is different. With the list I'm requesting the discussion will be political
discussion rather than technical. Also, they won't be restricted to large
companies, as the "enterprise" name seems to imply.
Description:
Discussion about the needs of companies that contribute to, offer commercial
support for, or have other strategic interests in Debian
Category: Miscellaneous Debian
Subscription policy: closed
Web archive: no
As some political discussions will be going on (e.g. "how can we convince
$big_company to certify their products for Debian?" brainstorming), it'd be
nice to have some control of who is in the loop. In the beginning I volunteer
to do that (as DPL, via [email protected]), but the ideal outcome would be to have
list participants to decide on some governance structure and name who is in
charge of accepting subscriptions.
FWIW, I don't think this is at stake with Debian openness. For me this list
is just Debian offering list hosting to actors who want to help Debian in
venues that Debian Project members are not able or willing to pursue by
themselves.
A list archive accessible only to subscribers (and Debian Project members)
would be nice, but I'm not sure this is supported by our list setup. Is it?
Thanks for considering,
Cheers.

After a long discussion I created that last, so I close this bug now.
