[Debconf-discuss] Cheese&Wine project progress report
> We'll do some mini-shopping as of tomorrow (Monday) morning to get > glasses (plastic), plates, etc. Shopping done this morning, thanks to Moray, Nicolas and "damn we forgot you to ask your name" who helped us with the local language, without which we would never have spotted a panaderia. We have plastic glasses for the various liquids, plastic plates for the cheese and napkins for participants to carry all this. The only remaining stuff needed will be knives for cutting the cheese (at least those that don't escape themselves from boxes). So, everything is settled for the 4th release of the Debian Cheese&Wine party. Participants, please bring your liquid and solid stuff around 22:45 at 1st floor hacklab, close to the bar. Anyone wanting to complete the set of material can easily go to the supermarket which, IIRC, lies in the 1st or 2nd street you cross when exiting left to the hotel, about 2 blocks away. They have a fairly good set of Argentinian (and some chilean) wines, as well as a good assortment of liquors. ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

A short word of caution: this will really be a BOF and not a talk-in-disguise; it relies on the inputs of the participants which will be the base for discussing "models of good practise" and areas of challenges.
