I just wanted to quickly thank Tony and Tim for their efforts and confirm that the event has been accepted as a Sprint. Many thanks to our DPL and all those who donated. We get support for up to 5 DDs to attend, also aiming for an increased interaction with other alioth initiatives like e.g. pkg-java, debichem and debian-science.
To save on costs, I suggest to book the hotel room and flights early. Cheers, Steffen > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 19.
