Je ferais de mon mieux. Un rosbif ici et il y a des ans que je ne parle pas francais mais j'ai fait des centaines d'installations de Debian pendant quelques 27 ans - il n'y a que deux ou trois avec un clavier azerty :( I'll do my best. I'm an Anglo who hasn't spoken French for years but I've done hundreds of installs of Debian as a tester over the years, though only a couple with AZERTY. Il y aura un miroir tout pres du Debian qu'on puisse utiliser? Will there be a very close/local mirror of Debian that we can use? > We'd be glad to have you. > > > From what I follow in the latest updates, the workshop may occur > > off-site from the conference venue, in Brest, and possibly on Friday > > 18th - I'll try to read more of the details soon and to think about > > how I could usefully participate. > > You beat me to giving the updates on the mailing list :) > > I've updated the event description on the DebConf site today.
