Please raise your hand if you're interested.

I'm planning to partecipate to the meeting since there are still a lot of issues / bugs for the g-i that are awaiting to be fixed ( have a look to the bugreport page for cebconf-gtk-udeb package ). Some of those bugs are related to the GTKDFB libraries the g-i relies upon: since Dennis Oliver Knopp (DFB's main developer) announced he's going to attend to the meeting this would be a great opportunity to fix them (here i'm thinking about bugs #342053 and #339379 ). Also, this meeting could be a great opportunity to promote the GTKDFB project: AFAIK the g-i is one of the major applications using it and the whole d-i project would get great benefits from its developement. Switching to GTKDFB 2.8.3 is planned for the g-i somewhere in the future (this will improve a lot functionality and usability of the GTK frontend ). Mike Emmel (GTKDFB's main developer, who unfortunately said he won't be able to partecipate) is now working on merging CairoDFB into Cairo and GDKDFB into GTK: some help in implementing missing code / clenaing existing parts of code would be very apreciated here.

ciao

Attilio
