The DCCA is the Debian Common Core Alliance. In essence, The major flavors of
Debian have agreed to develop packages and support around the Linux Standard
Base which will be compatible with all the major Debian Distros, (including
Ubuntu for the most part, even though they have not signed up yet). The idea
is to make Debian more appealing to enterprise users.
Here's a link to the e-week article:

and another from internet news:

It may or may not turn out to be a big thing, but I think it's worth
watching.
