As promised, I've been calling around about this. I found out that the
same person who held that thing I was in is very interested to hold such
a session about this during Debconf :)
Unfortunately, arranging it isn't that simple. He has just begun his
holiday and naturally made plans for it. However, he will try to see if
he could fit this in his schedule and also ask from some people he knows
if they could come in case he can't. I'll be hearing more tomorrow, I
promised to call him after I have arrived to Helsinki (around midday).
If we were to do this, it would pretty much have to happen according to
his schedule, since he can't really pick the times very freely. He also
suggested that having a group of 10-20 people participate in this would
be the optimal number, but it's possible to adjust the methods so there
can be some more participants.
So the bottom line is, this could very well happen. I hope there's
enough interest in this, since our experiences with this have been
excellent in solving problems without getting too emotional.
