I would be willing to participate in a regular derivatives meeting on behalf
of Ubuntu. Some suggested standing agenda items:
- Pain points and lessons learned from the past quarter

- Upcoming f2f events for the next quarter (conferences, etc.)

documented in the wiki, but I can't invest the time myself at present.

#debian-ubuntu is fairly active; is it worth considering deprecating it in
favor of #debian-derivatives?
