Hi,
What does BoF stands for?
Is it a Debian specific thing? because I can't find a suitable def in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoF#Technology
Usage examples,
Test Driven Development in Debian BoF
Debian Events BoF
Debian Wiki BoF
...
Thanks
BOF /B-O-F/ or /bof/ /n./ Abbreviation for the phrase
"Birds Of a Feather" (flocking together), an informal discussion group
and/or bull session scheduled on a conference program. It is not clear
where or when this term originated, but it is now associated with the
USENIX conferences for Unix techies and was already established there by
1984. It was used earlier than that at DECUS conferences and is reported
to have been common at SHARE meetings as far back as the early 1960s.
