Assuming this offer still stands, I believe a group of Debian enthusiasts would like to come by from Wednesday to Friday before FOSDEM. Do you think that would be possible so that we can "officially" start planning this? I suppose that would mean creating a wiki page and collecting info who will be attending so that we all have a better idea what will be happening there. Assuming that FOSDEM attracts *many* Debian developers (more than 100?) I'd expect at least 23 people showing up on Wednesday (though wouldn't be surprised about less, it's a work week after all) and maybe 42 on Friday... and as I remember the space from this FOSDEM I think even 42+23 people would fit. What do you think, can we, shall we, do this? -- cheers, Holger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C
