 I will be there as a videographer.
Andreas Schuldei will be there, too.

 I have seen a few others from debian-edu
on the debconf mailing lists and IRC channel.

 I am cc-ing this to linuxiskolen@skolelinux.no, since I would
like to remind the Norwegians about the big event in Helsinki
in July: <http://www.debconf.org/debconf5/>

 I am also cc-ing this to debconf-team, so they are aware that
this issue has been raised.  Could this be the topic for a BoF?

 Mind you, Debian has a dozen of architectures to support.
How this fits into the picture, I don't know much about.
Thoughts?
