Paul, I'm very interested in this. Two questions out of interest
- What do you do with APCI as most hardware is not very useful without
power-control and it seems that APCI is binary-only by design.
At the moment we leave it as is. I'm not aware of any non-freeness with the ACPI parts of the kernel, but if there are please let us know.
- Any plans for a launchpad type system? The Genius of Ubuntu for me
seems to be that they manage the project internally as a source based distro (think Gentoo) but only push binaries to the end users.
At the moment we've a very simple build and bug tracking system. We intend to keep everything pretty simple - at least at this stage of the project and until we have a team that could build and support such infrastructure.
