Last call for feedback about GNU as a Debian upstream: the talk is on Friday. I've already received a good deal of feedback (about 15 mails) and I'm in the process of summarizing what I've got. Given feedback is never enough :), you still have a few hours to let me know more. Of course I'll report about the talk once it's done. As I haven't yet done that with individual maintainers, I'd like to hereby thank everyone who have followed-up providing some feedback: thanks! Cheers.
