[Debconf-discuss] The now traditional Cheese and Wine party (hectic announcement)
No Debconf without Cheese and Wine party, that's at least true
since Debconf 5 in Helsinki.
So, DC9 will not be an exception and we will again have a C&W party.
The event is, from what I see in Penta, officially scheduled for
Saturday July 25th, 21:30 local time.
Of course, that will, as usual, require participation by attendees,
particularly the French gang, to bring enough material for it.
The principle is easy: attendees do their best to bring *good* cheese
and|or *good* wine or liquors from their own place and we all share
this in the best suitable place we can find for this.
If you can't bring anything....you're still highly welcome. We need
many people to come and be sure that nothing is left at the end.
Don't expect something very organized: everybody is free to come and
join. Don't feel like you *have* to bring something to participate: we
all know this is not always easy when travelling, sometimes for a long
time. Cheese is still considered as dangerous material in many places
and as a military weapon in some others..:-)
The main rationale should be, as usual in Debian: focus on quality. If
something from your place|country|region seems worth being discovered
by Debconf attendees, you can certainly bring it and share. The last
C&W have already proven that Debconf attendees enjoy good food and
drinks.
Cheese should be the main topic of the even, along with wine, of
course. This is the spirit of the event and it should remain as is.
Spain is a very cheese-friendly country...so let's take advantage of this..:-)
One should also remember that "cheese party" generally means "cheese
AND WINE party", which generally extends to "cheese and wine and
anything containing ethanol as long as this is good stuff" party.
All this information is meant to be turned into a wiki page....if I
manage to find time for this, preferrably not at the last minute..:-)
