I'm glad I captured the purpose and spirit of Debian Day...but some prioritization would be a good idea! We probably can't achieve all our goals, and choosing a priority will help us decide what to put first on the program, or to highlight, etc.
I have never been to a DebConf or Debian Day before. For ignorant folks like me, it would be useful to post a description of what usually goes on. For instance, I've been to an Ubuntu Installfest which was a lot of fun but very unstructured. People sat around showing stuff off on their laptops (software they or other people had written), disks were handed out and used for installation, food was served. But you can have formal presentations too, of course. Andy >> What is the goal of outreach to local communities?
