Sadly, I'm not a DD (yet) but I could definitely get behind this 
proposal.  Not only does it benefit embedded in a BIG way, but it also 
keeps Debian relevant on the class of machines that will likely be used 
in developing countries for the next few years.  And I'm not talking 
just about x86 architectures.

I would love to stand up a fully-working armel-uclibc port, or at least 
get the essential and build-essential packages running.  I use 
debootstrap, so lack of an installer wouldn't be a problem.

I'm doing cross distcc now.  :)

I could be persuaded to attend for April 19-23 if I wasn't going to be 
the only one there doing uclibc stuff.  Especially if the bulk of my 
travel/attendance expenses (from USA) were covered.

Lennert?  Wookey?
