I know this may sound a little bit rude or inappropriate to send such a call, but please let me explain the context why I finally decided to do this anyway.
Pema Geyleg, the lead developer of the DzongkhaLinux distribution (distribution developed for use in Bhutan), was planned to attend Debconf and present their project as "Bhutan's journey to free software". (see http://www.debian.org/News/2006/20060719) However, for visa reasons, he could not make it to Scotland. Il will however attempt to hold this talk on his behalf, with the indirect help of Frans Pop. That will happen on Sat 24th, 09:45BST, Basement Talk Room). The talk will indeed be attended through video stream by the staff in Bhutan's Department of Information and Technology and we hope some interaction with them (as much as allowed by the low bandwidth in the country). For that reason, I'd be delighted if attendees of the conference do their best to show up and attend that talk. That would indeed be the best sign to give from the Debian Project that we are really interested in this Dzongkha Linux project (which indeed gave Debian much coverage all over the world). Please note that, for unfortunate reasons, the talk collides with the "Social Comittee" Bof, which may drive several proeminent members in the project. I however still have a hope that some of you will be interested anyway..:-) PS: also expect a few nice pictures from the place over there. For sure, we didn't went in space, but that still deserves some attention... _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
