Wow.. this seemed the kind of message that I usually skip...
"Why don't we go for a picnic?"
"Let's go to .*World"
... as leaving so far automatically makes me like an outcast.. =)
But you mean getting the money to actually get all Debian together... wow..
that would be interesting...!

I love it.. Last time, I went to Paris, it cost me about $450 US for a round
trip from Atlanta. I think the fares are cheaper in Winter.

train or flight would be cheaper than a direct flight to nl.

Yes, I agree, and in all likelihood I think that's what'll happen. :)

Cool idea. But would it help Debian except of being a big social developer

Apart from the organizational problems it would only make sense if there's
a track of technical talks about mostly internal

and be happy to give me assignments ahead of time or whatnot
I've been thinking about this for a while, but it always seemed like a crazy
idea. But it seems other people were thinking about it too, and others like
