Hello, our abstract was accepted for a short presentation. Which is just fine and all I ever wanted, really. What is important for us does not happen at presentation time but before and after the talk, obviously.
That said, I would be happy to revive the BOSC liveCD plans a bit to the degree that introductory material could somehow be crafted and submitted to Debian that guides the user to their possibilities they have while using the distribution. And such an addendum, even if it only makes it into sid at publication time, should be worth publishing jointly. To sum up, my hope for the presentation is to bring Debian as close as possible to upstream and add a disseminative role to it that is beyond binaries towards education. The latter should help Debian-based activities to attract public funding of some sort. Please you all have a bottle of some nice juice (possibly fermented) to celebrate now Steffen ----- Forwarded message from Kam Dahlquist <kdahlqu...@lmu.edu> ----- Greetings, On behalf of the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference 2009, I am pleased to inform you that your abstract, titled Debian adopts and disseminates Bioinformatics Open Source Software has been accepted for a 5 minute Lightning Talk at BOSC 2009.
