Re: DebConf15: Call for Sprints



[sorry for cross-posting - I have set Reply-To to
 debian-sprints@lists.debian.org, debian-blends@lists.debian.org]

Hi,

as a response to the DebConf team announcement I have createt an entry
at the Sprint wiki page:

  https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2015/Blends

The idea is to gather people who are working on different Blends in one
place and 

  1) discuss common topics
  2) enable the different Blends to form subgroups to work on their
     specific topics

I would be really happy to see you all working together in Heidelberg
before DebConf to integrate some new Blends and gather ideas how we
could find even better synergies.

Everybody is welcome to add a line to the participants table and enhance
the agenda.

See you in Heidelberg

       Andreas.
