I do. A combination of DMCA, a certain affinity towards cryptography, a certain dislike for some of the USA's behaviours (notably on the international scene), a particular dislike against dissimulating my opinions especially regarding the previous point, and a large "République Française" written on my passport, makes me feel I would not be very welcome in the USA. That's only my personal opinion though, and I'm in no way trying to turn anyone from organising a Debconf in the USA or attending it. Roland. -- Roland Mas Fate always wins...
