<sigh>

First of all, Spice is not Red Hat specific at all, yes it is mostly driven
by Red Hat engineers, but we very much welcome outside contributors. We have
a public git tree at freedesktop.org, use bugzilla.freedesktop.org as our
main bug tracker and there are several other distributions interested in
using Spice too, and AFAIK it is available as a ppa for both Debian and
Ubuntu.

And Alon is offering you 2 out of 6, or 33% of what you need. You could
have asked if he is sure he is coming, without the unnecessary "rather
redhat specific topic" remark.
