The Debian leader goes to UDS

Recently elected Debian leader Stefano Zacchiroli went to the Ubuntu Developer Summit to try to improve relations between the two. He has posted a couple of interesting messages related to this visit, the first being the results of a survey of Debian developers: "The most appreciated collaboration paradigm between Debian and Ubuntu seems to be 'mixed teams', where people from both distros work together using some $VCS. I got report about a dozen such teams, of varying sizes from a handful of packages to several hundreds."

Also posted is a summary of the trip. "To my surprise, I realized that among Ubuntu developers there are quite some people which share our values and that acknowledge that Ubuntu sometimes fails at them. Those people are interested in working with Debian directly, but simply didn't realize that we do welcome their contributions".
