There is for sure some/much value, many of the derivatives are are trying to solve there own use cases, be it with Region or Language or Domain of application. This helps the derivatives better collaborate with Debian and with each other as well. > The discussion also pointed towards derivatives as a possible source > of contributors. I think that makes sense, both as a way for > derivatives folks to contribute to Debian and as a way for derivatives > to raise interest in derivatives within Debian. As per my observations, many of the derivatives are having the Debian Contributors/Developers contributing to them. So it helps both the derivatives and Debian as well. The derivative contributors also help upstream patches/applications which are then helpful for other Debian/Derivative users > Raju Devidas (libregeekingkid) of Hamara Linux has starting helping > out (with census invites) and expressed interest in working on the > project.

Derivatives should try to collaborate with each other on this list along with there own lists. This will help solve problems quickly as the most of the derivatives will run into similar issues over time. I still have a few issues which I posted on the derivatives mailing list a while back, with no sufficient response. https://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives/2018/01/msg00007.html for now we have fixed the issue with our own custom script. > PS: today at DebCamp I've given Raju an overview of the census > scripts.
