Mailing list for people involved in Linux distributions

2023-02-01 Thread Anna (cybertailor) Vyalkova
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 would be a good example)

Please consider subscribing: distributi...@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!

This is a great idea, and something that we would want to boost from Promo to 
the outside world.

It would also probably make for a decent pilot discussion forum on the 
Discourse instance we are testing:

https://discuss.kde.org/t/would-this-be-a-good-place-for-the-linux-distro-mailing-list/142/1

I would help us gauge whether the platform is popular and usable by external 
actors, i.e., the folks in charge of distros with KDE implementations.

Cheers

Paul
