Re: [Debconf-discuss] Packaging for beginners - expert wanted
I'm so glad this session/workshop took place at dc11. Although there
was only 10-12 people who assigned their names at the list, i counted
about 47 people in the room (maybe some of them ware shy :)). (ok,
with at least 5-10 people who didn't come to learn anything new). I
noticed that specially local people from Croatia/Bosnia/Serbia joined
this session which is good since there are no or very few people from
this region who participate in Debian.
So, i believe this would be nice event to take place at every debconf
and maybe even to to get form of real workshop which would take longer
time.
Greetings and thnx to people who organized this and video team who
covered this session.
