    Here is a talk I gave at Debconf 10 on the relationship between our two projects. I'm afraid the audio quality isn't so hot but I go over some of the things we're working on.

    • Our Debian workspace on the wiki. This has the basic information.
    • The Debian derivatives front-desk has pointers to places where people who are interested in working with Debian can collaborate.
    • The Ultimate Debian Database has some measurements of Ubuntu contributions, the video explains how to read these.
    • Here's an already out of date list I compiled of people who are both Ubuntu developers and Debian developers.

  2. An interview with Colin Watson is a gem. See the 2nd half to see the Ubuntu-specific parts.
