Debian Derivatives Front Desk
This is the home of the derivatives frontdesk. This group helps developers of Debian derivative distributions to contribute their changes back to Debian by:
- mentoring them through Debian-specific details (procedures) to get their packages into Debian
getting them in touch with the right people (teams, etc)
- discussing and establishing processes to share efforts among derivatives and with Debian
- ...

IRC channel: #debian-derivatives
How to help
You can join the mailing list debian-derivatives@lists.debian.org (learn more ...) and help there in replying to inquiries from derivative contributors or more generally discuss there any topic related to the interaction between Debian and derivatives distributions.
When posting, please adhere to the following guidelines:
the above contact point derivatives@debian.org points to the debian-derivatives mailing list, please explicitly Cc: people that only posted to derivatives@debian.org otherwise they will not get your reply
- the list is a mentoring place for people in need of guidance, please be friendly: that list is not the place for RTFM-kind-of-replies
over time, please consider contributing to the FAQ; eventually it might become good documentation for derivatives
More ways to help include:
encourage Debian derivatives to participate in the census
add ideas for integration of the census with Debian infrastructure
contribute to the derivatives guidelines
start a DEX subproject for merging work done in your derivative back into Debian proper
