After this suggestion and Steffen Moeller answer¹ I have created in
December the wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceMeetings
(without advertising it unfortunately). Since then several meetings
are getting themselves organised. See
http://wiki.debian.org/WorkSessionsExtremadura . There seems to be
only two possible dates left (March 22-26 and December 13-17) but the
most important questions are:
1/ Who would be interested in? I see possibly at least Dirk
Eddelbuettel, Steffen Moeller and I.
Count me in for the December meeting. (I will not join any long term,
i.e. > than one weekend, meeting in the first half of this year for
private reasons.)
2/ What for?
Technical work. Meeting of the people on this list who would take
advantage of such a gathering in order to strengthen the support of
scientific applications in Debian. I am thinking of people around R,
Octave but maybe also people around ROOT, Maxima or Axiom and the like
software.
I'm interested in biological software and in a general infrastructure
for scientific applications in a CDD framework.
So, who would be interested in such a meeting? At which (remaining)
dates? I have put my own name as an example in the table in
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceMeetings . Who else? Please add
your names and availability.
So I will add my name provided that the December data would be choosen.
I do not want to bloat the list with my name if I'm sure that I'm unable
to join. An announcement of the final date decision would be nice.
* who will be at Debconf 6?
... unfortunately not because real live is stronger than Debian
engagement in this particular case. :-(
Obviously with such a message I am volunteering to help organise such
a meeting in Extremadura would it be considered interesting by the
Extremadura sponsors.
This would be great.
Kind regards
Andreas.
