And to make it clearer and that everybody feels comfortable, you don't *have* to bring stuff to participate to the C&W. It's perfectly understandable that people who have travel constraints preventing from bringing material that degrades over time....or people who don't have nice cheese at the place they live (or no occasion to buy some...or no budget for this....)...or people who don't like cheese *still show up and enjoy the party* We still most of the time end up with a largely sufficient amount of food and beverage material. Of course, cheese is still in some way in the center or the loop, but it's in general much more about having good time together and celebrate what now became a kind of Debian tradition since 6 people (a few of them will be there again) gathered together in a room in Helsinki back in 2005, to enjoy a few nice things. http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/CheeseWineBoF is the place to go for more information. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
