You can group software in tasks and my naive imagination is that to run your ecosystem you have several different tasks. BTW, tensorflow effort was started in the COVID19 sprint of Debian Med Blend - so even here we have common goals. ;-) Nice that tensorflow is really needed by others (and will be hopefully fully available in next stable). Blends are also helping to attract new developers - so talk to us if you want to become a DD. ;-) Does Siemens sponsor Debian? - indirectly through CIP, the Civil Infrastructure Platform (project from multiple huge companies ... https://www.cip-project.org/members) ... which means 5,000 EUR is not very generous among them all. Working on it :) Q: Siemens and the metaverse? a. "The meta/Magicverse is "an Emergent System of Systems bridging the physical with the digital, in a large scale, persistent manner within a community of people." - https://www.magicleap.com/news/op-ed/magicverse b. oh wow, yes! https://press.siemens.com/global/en/pressrelease/siemens-and-nvidia-partner-enable-industrial-metaverse c. How does Siemens manage the data collected, is some of it made open? And if so, how? There must surely be layers of privacy? Is this data high quality, following RDF (Resource Description Framework)? Is it properly linked to allow context? "5 star data" - is there a person in Siemens we can get in touch with to work on this? Q: Apertis (https://www.apertis.org) is a fully open-source Debian derivative with similar goals (industrial & embedded, license compliance, security...), are you aware of this project? If so, have you considered using it already? Do you see areas where we could/should collaborate? Yes :)
