- ACTION: intrigeri lets a Debian Trusted Organization (Debian France?) know that there will be lots of requests [WIP: waiting for answer]

Optimizing for a broader public
(i.e. not only Debian developers)
Reach out to, and properly welcome, people who can contribute to the quality assurance effort, with their pre-existing skills, in other ways than fixing bugs and uploading packages.
Make it real once we're there
There will be people committing to host a station, i.e. holding some physical space dedicated to people with a given set of skills, and making it welcoming and productive.
- ACTION: intrigeri discusses with Hypra how the focus on accessibility technologies/usecases can be organized [WIP]
- TBD: document the skills needed to attend each station and display this information at front desk
- bug triaging: read and write enough English, install a Debian package
- graphics and design: TBD
- testing: TBD
