Publication Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2005 Joachim is asking for volunteers to package/repackage the good/appropriate stuff from the Ubuntu (if I understand things correctly that includes the edubuntu project) into main debian distribution. I believe this might be of interest to some of us, perhaps it is already known.

Utnubu stands for doing what Ubuntu does, just the other way around: We want to take the things Ubuntu does and that are missing in Debian, and - where appliciable - put them in Debian. This should be achieved using (at least) the following methods: * Having a look at the patches that Ubuntu publishes, see if they are suitable for Debian and then contact the Debian Maintainer to see if and how these can be integrated. * Contacting Ubuntu developers that upload directly to universe, if they don't want to upload to Debian, too; this includes sponsoring. Note that I do not plan to pull developers from Ubuntu, they should instead form their package for both distributions. * If this is not possible or feasable, take Ubuntu-only packages, adjust them to Debian and upload them ourselves. (Personally, I'd like to concentrate on point 2 and 3, so another reason for you to join) I have set up the alioth project utnubu, as well as the mailing lists <a href="mailto:utnubu-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org">utnubu-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org</a> for general in-group discussion, as well as <a href="mailto:utnubu-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org">utnubu-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org</a> for the maintainer field of our possible packages. A list of binary package in universe, but not in Debian, is assembled on <a href="http://people.debian.org/%7Enomeata/utnubu/">http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/utnubu/</a> Those who are at DebConf and are interested: You are welcome to see me and discuss matters in person.
