I apologize for that. As my only excuse, I was invited to attend the
meeting only a few days earlier; I was on VAC back then and until Monday
morning. I did my best on Monday to find the time to write that email
ASAP; my best has been to send that email 4h before the meeting.
I should have probably pointed to it at the start of the meeting, but
please understand that it was my first meeting and I felt a bit "shy",
ans I was also not willing to intrude/interfere too much in your
"customs". Again, I'm sorry for the bad timing.

Let me reiterate that you all have all my sympathies for your work on
DebConf10. It is just normal that you feel the pressure and that
"flames" might sparkle at times.
I can just say "thank you, we/you re almost there".
Cheers.
