I don't want to spread out false ideas..:-) My understanding is that there will be places to sleep, internet, and possibly food for any groups that want to arrive before the conference for hacking. > If there's no devcamp before debconf, we should arrange sessions > during the conference, as the above mentions.

I agree about the BOFs because I think that pulling more developers into d-i will be even more important after sarge is released. I also think it will be important to educate the general debian developership about the installer. For example right now it seems we have a lot of DDs who don't even know if d-i supports lvm. (See Planet Debian.) Maybe a general presenttion about d-i would be good, if someone wants to do one. However I don't think that more BOFs and talks will neccessarily make for a more productive development session. And I do think we will have some big projects we'd like to work on, though I can't predict exactly which ones. -- see shy jo
