The name of the channel matters even less than the network for me, so let's make it ##distros. I'll send a separate mail shortly to get the ball rolling for an IRC meeting in two weeks time.

What exactly would be part of packaging guidelines? Would this include Debian's policy? High on the list of things to standardize I think are forks of deployment systems like Debian's python-support for Python. I just tried to figure out an import issue that someone had with that but had no idea how it worked. It's not upstream as far as I know. ___ Distributions mailing list Distributions@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions

Freenode staff will hand over channels that are unused if there's a project that wants to use them. Looking at this, it appears unused: So if we want #distributions, we can probably have it. I assumed they would, but the other consideration was that I thought it may be an invitation to pointless arguments over distributions, not from the participants, but from others. It could be policed, but it may be unnecessary work. I don't mind either way, does anyone have a strong preference either way?
