FYI - it has begun.

LANANA stands for Linux Assigned Names and Number Authority.  Names
for some LSB packages will be handled by LANANA:

  http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/pkgnameconv.html

If you are interested in helping, please join the mailing list.  We
will probably need someone to run the package name sub-group too.

Thanks, Drew.

I'd like to get started on turning LANANA into a workgroup, perhaps even
finishing as soon as our Jan 7 board meeting.  I know this is a busy
time of year for everyone, so that may not be entirely feasible to
finish before February, but we certainly can get started.

I will be forwarding this message to LSB, FHS, and maybe a few other
Linux standardization mailing lists so any interested parties can join
the lanana-discuss mailing list by going to:

  http://freestandards.org/mailman/listinfo/lanana-discuss

As far as the official documentation required to create the workgroup
goes, http://www.freestandards.org/policy/fsg102-newworkgroup-draft.txt
is a good place to start even though it's not quite official policy yet.
We can generate a "FSG102" document with these sections:

  FSG102-1 PROBLEM DECLARATION AND SOLUTION ABSTRACT
  FSG102-2b TECHNICAL GOALS OUTLINE
  FSG102-3a CORE PARTICIPANTS LIST
  FSG103-3b TASK OUTLINE

We should include decision-making policy and the overall process.

If you have any questions or comments about the policy draft, please
direct them to Drew Streib <dtype@freestandards.org>.
