xvendor (cross-vendor) mailing list

Note: the xvendor mailing list is currently unused, in favor of the Distributions list. However, this web page and the rest of the "infrastructure" behind xvendor is kept around as a "hot spare".

Group purpose and charter

The purpose of the xvendor group is collaboration and information exchange between OS distribution vendors (mostly Linux) on non-security topics.

Basically, anything that would likely benefit other members of this group and that isn't security vulnerability information (a topic for oss-security) should be posted in here. Questions and requests for comment may also be posted.

Desirable topics include:

These are in addition to the requirement to stay on topic:

List membership and moderation

Membership to this group is not formally restricted, but is targeted at Open Source projects, distributors, researchers, and developers.
