Debian Med Blend meeting in Lübeck

It seems somewhat amazing, but most of the Debian Med contributors have never met in person before. We think that to maximise the user experience, we shall get together, talk about more than our individual packages and identify some lower and some not-so-low-hanging fruits.

Location, Date

  • when: January 28-31, 2011
  • where: Travemünde, Germany (OSM) at the Hotel Strandperle Update: New venue! Hotel Deutscher Kaiser. The Hotel (if I got this right) is named after some visit in 1896 when sea tourism became fashionable and that guy was still a friendly grandchild of Queen Victoria. I hope that to be tolerable.
