I'm the team lead and architect for Pulp, a software repository 
management application that's being used, among other places, as the 
content subsystem in Red Hat's System Engine product. Despite our 
affiliation with Red Hat (I work there, as does the main team itself), 
it's still a full open source project with a reasonably growing 
community outside of Red Hat.

I've hesitated to present it because a.) I have yet to actually make it 
to a meeting and haven't met anyone and b.) I get the impression that 
this group is largely Ubuntu based, but I may be wrong about that. That 
said, while Pulp's version 1 release was entirely based around RPM 
concepts, in version 2 I've rearchitected it to support pluggable 
content types for non-RPM content, DEB packages being one of the first 
on my radar.

If there's interest, I can do a presentation/demo at an upcoming West 
meeting. As I'm very much on the developer side of things and not an 
admin, any input y'all had to offer would be golden for me.

If you want to dig a bit further into the project, there's the project 
website (http://pulpproject.org) and I maintain the developer blog 
(http://blog.pulpproject.org). I'm also in #plug if you just wanted to 
ping me directly (jdob).
