Picking this back up from December, the thread garnered replies in support from Debian Developers Thomas Goirand (a maintainer of the OpenStack packages in Debian) and Allison Randal (an elected individual director on the board of the OpenInfra Foundation). In the meantime, I've also been granted contributing member status in SPI and am happy to serve as a liaison between both organizations if that helps. What are the next steps for the proposal? Should I try to elicit more feedback to the mailing list? Or is more information about the foundation or its associate membership desired? Will I need to add it to the SPI board meeting agenda for approval (I understand that today's meeting is probably short notice, but perhaps April's)? Also, it may be useful to point out a bit more background on Debian's relevance to some of the other projects represented by the OpenInfra Foundation besides OpenStack: StarlingX is an "edge computing" focused GNU/Linux distribution. Previously it was a Red Hat derivative, but their community decided to pivot and redo their next major release as a Debian derivative instead. They've been working with upstream project developers in the various subsystems they've previously had to patch/fork in order to whittle away at their divergence, with the hope of getting as close as possible to eventually being a Debian Pure-Blend. The OpenDev Collaboratory, a community-run development hosting service, provides minimal Debian-based virtual machines in its CI system in order for projects to be able to test that changes to their software will work on Debian. OpenDev's sysadmins are also the primary upstream developers for a number of upstream projects included in Debian, such as the git-review client, or the python3-gear and python3-gerritlib libraries. The Zuul "project gating" and CI/CD software, while not yet packaged in Debian itself, supports the use of Debian as a test platform in its standard jobs library, and tests all of its changes on Debian (as well as on other distributions of course). Its published container images are also built on the Python community's base images, which are in turn built from the semi-official Debian container images. Thanks as always for your feedback and assistance. -- Jeremy Stanley, Open Infrastructure Foundation Staff
