I shall visit debconf 10 if it is possible to me.
On the positive side, I hope to get to Spain for Debconf9 this summer,
and look forward to seeing you all there. :)
Héctor, it really looks like you don't follow the news. Well, I do.
A year ago or so, brazilians were severely abused in Barajas airport.

Don't bring a laptop. Instead, buy a new one in the USA (it is often the
