         Announcing the Linux Compatibility Standards Project
         ----------------------------------------------------

Debian and Red Hat are collaborating on a written specification
of the "Linux Compatibility Standard" (LCS). The LCS will clearly
outline the specifications necessary to be LCS compliant. This
LCS document will be used as a guideline on how to build a
"proper" system by those building Linux distributions, and it
will be used by developers needing information on the basic
system configuration to develop application programs.
We expect this LCS effort to complement the example LSB
implementation on which Bruce Perens is working.

Erik Troan (Red Hat) and Dale Scheetz (Debian) will jointly
manage the LCS working group, which will be working on the
written standard using the lcs-eng@example.com mailing list
for the discussion.

lcs-eng@example.com is an open subscription list. Everyone
who is interested is encouraged to subscribe. Most of all, we
encourage all current members of the LSB committee to subscribe
to this list. Even if you intend to work on the code base,
subscribing will be helpful.

The public "at large" is also encouraged to subscribe, with only
one suggestion. All non-committee members will be STRONGLY
encouraged to "lurk" quietly. If you really have information of
pressing importance to the group, you are encouraged to subscribe
to the debian-policy mailing list and carry your discussion to
that group. All LCS discussions on debian-policy will be
collected periodically for review by the LCS group.


>> Subscribing

To subscribe to the lcs-eng mailing list send an e-mail to:

        lcs-eng-REQUEST@example.com

with the single word subscribe in the subject line. You will
shortly receive a confirmation request. Follow the instructions
and you will become subscribed to the list.

This announcement is made jointly by

Dale Scheetz
and
Erik Troan
