There will be people from derivatives at DebConf, but as yet they
don't appear to have registered any events like this.

Hmm, this seems to be a combination of two events? Are you thinking an
event like Andreas Tille's derivatives panel/round table from
DebConf11 or the derivatives BoF at DebConf10 that was around an oval
table in a small room?

I am a very poor public speaker so I won't be doing this, I'd be happy
to give advice to anyone who wants to do this though.

With Friday being the end of the CfP period, I thought I would
summarise the current situation. There are a couple of derivatives
related events in penta now:
"Project for Latin American People" Debian-day talk that mentions
Canaima in the abstract.
Some of you maybe interested in the "Getting packages into Debian
BoF", which is not directly related to derivatives stuff but is very
relevant to lots of derivatives.
There is a "Integrating Emdebian into Debian" BoF that I think will be
quite interesting.
There is a talk for Debian-day called "Improving Ubuntu from Debian",
which has been on the increase in recent times, an interesting topic.
If no-one else registers a general derivatives BoF before the deadline
then I'll register one, probably DebConf10-style.
