Notice that Xavier Oswald, who did some skolelinux work for the skolelinux.fr
guys, will be doing a practicum with me, which aim would be to code a partman
replacement, maybe based on the gparted code, or something. This is still in
an early stage, but should be finalized well before the final etch d-i build.
He starts on november 14.

So, this is a good occasion to introduce him to you all and vice-versa.
