So the goal is to « stop the fragmentation between the different Lin
ux
communities and to initiate a collaborative whole effort between
distributions and the entire Linux community »
The project is still in the rough stage of planning.
What do you mean ? On technical points ? On something else ?
Well, sometimes distros often reivent the wheel on certain items.
Also, it can be confusing to new users to choose a distro that works
for them.
What concrete actions do you have in mind ?
As for action, I'm thinking of a site that can easily allow for ideas
to be cross referanced that it not specific to any distro. So, it
makes a better Linux, as a whole. Perhaps, even a distro alliance.
Right now, I can't think anything about this project, as it doesn't
even seem to be defined :-/
We are still planning and coming up with ideas.
On the other hand, we are already collaborating with other
distributions. Developers from different distributions are working
together on upstream projects like the kernel for example. Last week I
was at a FOSS event in France, and I was during the whole week with
members of other communities (Ubuntu, Mandriva, ArchLinux, etc.). We
discussed about common release parties, shops, etc... (we even got
drunk all together :)
Anyway, could you explain a bit more what is this project ?
I agree, the project isn't quite clear but, basically it wants to give
Linux as a whole a stronger unified image to the general public,
without confusing them.
