In general I agree with what I understand about linuxaudio.org and
your point of view.
Probably I need to make a more nuanced distinction between
linuxaudio.org and linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org. It's likely
not true for you running all this stuff but from the outside I see the
two as very intertwined. If the business of linuxaudio.org were to
become a large part of what is discussed on this list, or the list was
to start pushing folks to become Debian based as a policy, then I'd be
disappointed. I think it's best if this list is distro neutral. What
linuxaudio.org does is a different thing.
AND, I get that you are NOT suggesting ANYTHING about what I'm writing
is true. I'm just asking the question and developing my own point of
view
Thanks!

How does that
effect me for instance as a Gentoo user? Please consider
whether LAU would still be a place of value to those of us that aren't
Debian/Ubuntu based.
I don't mind the occasional distro specific conversation. I wouldn't
want to see that ever become more than 1% of what's discussed on a
list like this.

Ideally, we would also want to have Gentoo involved in linuxaudio.org.
However please note that I cannot (nor do I want to) coerce anyone to join
linuxaudio.org. Yet, here we are with a potential opportunity to have Debian
join us and my thoughts are we should not pass this up. I can only hope that
Gentoo will join us as well--but that is not my call...
Best wishes,
Ico
