but gentoo devels dont go to slackware mailing lists and ask for contributions
http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2007/Fosdem
Collaboration between debian and fedora for packaging java just one example where collaboration happens across distros (see the wiki is on debian and the vent will be co-ordinated by Fedora developer and you can see gentoo devlopers signing up there).
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-11/msg03765.html Also you might have seen Mark Shuttleworth asking opensuse developers to join ubuntu (though it stirred a lot of controversy and considered bad just wanted to point out that here)
