Florian (bcc:ed) is not available during DebianDay, I spoke with him at Linuxtag. Florian, we discussed the Limux-talk idea yesterday on IRC and decided that we definitly want it, but that we dont want a talk over a video link, because we think that "videolink talks only work if the linked person is sufficiently famous and sufficiently a good speaker to grab people's attention. and there's a much higher attention barrier than for being physically there." So we would like you to ask your co-workers, if they can give a talk during DebConf. If would ask them myself, if I knew who they were ;-) Once they create the event in pentabarfs interface (http://penta.debconf.org), they should send a short mail to schedule@debconf.org and indicate, which days they can give the talk. Then the talk will be scheduled and announced. (And obviously it would be great if they would do it today or tomorrow...) regards & thanks, Holger
