[Users] [Devel] Proposal packaging Zimlets/Extensions via OS repos using RPM/DEB

[Barry De Graaff]

Founders.

I was talking today with some people interested in the Alliance, during
the course of my talk I noted talking about `Patrons` is uncomfortable,
that is in dutch language or english it does not roll off the tongue that
well.

Should we change that to be Supporter of Zetalliance instead of Patron of Zetalliance?

Barry

I agree the alliance should use its own domain.
