Hi! It's nearly time for DebConf, and that means it's also time for the Cheese and Wine Party. It's a DebConf tradition that dates back as early as 2005 in Helsinki, where a few people started sharing food. Since 2006 it's part of the official DebConf programme. It has somewhat taken on a life of its own now,with DebConf attendees bringing cheese, wine and other interesting local delicacies from their countries to share with other attendees.
DebConf24 is coming and a lot of people are going to travel soon. So please remember! We want your cheese or wine or sweets or fruits or whatever can be eaten or drunk. Please visit our Wiki page and add what you will bring! https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/24/CheeseWine Front Desk will be able to receive what you're bringing closer to the party.

Of course, you can still participate without bringing anything. After all, our priorities are our users and free cheese or interesting local delicacies :) All the best, and see you at the party, Macy and urbec and Nattie, in the name of Team Cheese
