But where does this list differ from other lists that are closed and even closer tied to Debian as e.g. the aforementioned listmaster alias? I think there are very good reasons to start with a closed list to at least get a discussion going as to where this group is going to evolve to. I honestly doubt any company will be willing to talk strategy or existing relationships on a public list. They might even break the law by doing that. And yes, I am aware that some of thsi stuff *might* even require mutual NDAs. I cannot tell yet where this is going to, but I can surely tell that it will go nowhere if we try starting it completely public, so that everone can read it.
