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.
