I didn't get any stamp at all from France or Finland on my way to DebConf5, although I did get one from the US when returning home after that conference. I agree neither France or Finland is likely to be out to fuck me, and since it was a US passport that already shows I am allowed to be in the US. Still, not stamping a passport seems to be more common than one might think, and it's probably legal in at least some countries. I did kind of want those stamps, though. :) (Mexico and the US both stamped my passport on my DebConf6 trip. None of the countries I've mentioned in this email stamped my passport upon departure from that country, only sometimes upon arrival.) - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
