This side of Debian has always impressed me http://live-build.debian.net/cgi-bin/live-build
Rather than a project that attempts to create and maintain a one-size-fits-all "distribution" I believe the future for software that supports groups like this is that they become a "knowledge base" with a pick-and-mix set of frequently desired features or configurations that can move forward independently of the host base system. This is different from the downstream model with backporting etc, in that it abandons the attempt to preserve a definitive version. For 64Studio, Daniel James and Free Ekanayaka adopted a powerful model based around PDK (shares some ideas with builders like Broth) with a concept of different blendable "channels". Another advantage is that the base Debian doesnt have to be downloaded every time and doesnt need to be hosted by the team, its just a channel (package repo and rules for blending). Going back to the root of Debian frees the project from policies and decisions downstream at Ubuntu. Just some ideas for different future ways to share common aims and efforts....
