[Freedombox-discuss] This white space spectrum chip might be uninteresting

It sure is both interesting and - to some extend - relevant for 
FreedomBox IMO.

But instead of thinking "integrated into the FB stack" it helps 
tremendously to instead think "integrated into Debian" - both because 
that process is a fairly thoroughly documented and proven process, and 
because really that is the only way to get anything part of FreedomBox.

On this list you find people excited to enable Debian in a form that we 
call FreedomBox, but we are very few doing actual coding and packaging - 
really Debian is where 99% of FreedomBox development really takes place 
(or arguably only 4% Debian and 95% upstream code projects!).

When you have something for distributions to consume, the way to get the 
ball rolling towards Freedombox is to a) [file an RFP bugreport] and b) 
add your project and its bugreport to our list of potential [future 
services] of Freedombox.

For anyone reading this and wanting to help in general: That [future 
services] list currently lacks completely any references to RFP or ITP 
bugreports. Please help update the list either from [existing reports] 
or by filing new RFP bugs for things not reported already.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
