I am interesting it this and I will definatelly be in that talk but I did not quite understand what he means by 'create a loosely coupled group, with at least one person per distribution' If you get this could you explain that to me? If you are bored to write that down we could talk about it on Friday :)

Subject: distromatch and debtags at Fosdem Date: Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 16:13:09 From: Enrico Zini enrico@enricozini.org To: distributions@lists.freedesktop.org

Hello,

I will be giving two talks in the cross-distribution room at Fosdem which I would like to turn into actions. I'm posting here a summary of my talks and what I wish would follow from them.

If you think the goal is worthwile / would like to take care of it, please join the talks and help make it happen:

http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/event/distromatch  "I wrote Distromatch, shall we use it?"  Saturday, room H.1301, 18:15--19:00

I'd like to create a loosely coupled group, with at least one person  per distribution, with two goals:

1. keep distromatch (the python command line tool and the data      exports) working and accurate;   2. use it to improve one's own distribution by "stealing" data from      all the others.

http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/event/debtags_reloaded  Debtags.debian.net reloaded!  Sunday, room H.1302, 10:00--11:00

I'd like to see other distributions adopt debtags. A starter dataset  can already be exported over distromatch.

If one wants to go further, the whole debtags.debian.net django app  should be easily re-themable and deployable for other non-debian  distributions: I can show how.

Ciao,

Enrico
