As a fellow Waterloo student, I now feel obliged to offer my
assistance for next year's Debconf. Feel free to delegate grunt work to
me.

That is very nice. I'd rather not piggyback on OLS proper,
although what we did this year with OLS on one weekend, and Debconf on
the next allowed people to attend both conferences. (I know some
students who couldn't afford OLS, but were enthusiastic about coming to
Debconf.)

Universities typically have a good net connexion. I'd love to
have Debconf at Waterloo, since DC has a wireless access point and
enough Internet loving for everyone; although I think housing may be an
issue. They'd probably stack everybody in Village 2, which is not
exactly the nicest accomodations.
