RE: cross distribution email list

That is our cross-distributions mailing list at the Open Mainframe Project for s390x: https://lists.openmainframeproject.org/g/wg-linux-distros I want to add the hint, that IBM has forwarded to the Linux Foundation the idea to create a cross-distributions working group also for other architectures. In our case, this mailing list is not only for exchange. We are receiving (fast) IBM support directly by a Distinguished Engineer at IBM andwe can suggest also feature requests and improvements in our monthly meetings (IBM CTO for Open Source also available then). I expect, that this topic will be also a discussion topic at FOSDEM (with the Linux Foundation). Best regards, Sarah

There was already cross-distro@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman3/lists/cross-distro.lists.linaro.org/

Not much used lately and likely Arm focused, though.

Cheers, Guillaume

Hi,

I just saw this post:

Not sure if this is of interest to us.

https://social.treehouse.systems/@thesamesam/109781551802800007

Distro people!

We're starting a mailing list for coordinating on cross-distro problems, "fire of the week", anything which needs - or would benefit from - distributions speaking to each other.

Example topics include:

- "new $X is totally broken oh god", - coordination of stuff like time_t migration - discussing how to handle something new (the github - unstable-tarballs incident today would be a good example)

Please consider subscribing: distributions@lists.linux.dev (link on lists.linux.dev / https://subspace.kernel.org/lists.linux.dev.html)

Do join too if you're an upstream and interested in these topics, especially if you're writing core software. We want a diverse set of opinions and perspectives!

Pass it on to other distribution folks / packagers too. Cheers!

Ciao, Marcus
