Yes, it's a lot more fun to work alongside others and you get to have some beer with new friends, your patches benefit from direct contributions of others around the same table and there is always room for more social involvement between people in Debian. We all spend too long alone with just a laptop for company. Bug squashing parties are *social* events where bugs happen to get fixed. If everything was to be done only remotely there would be no bug squashing parties at all. There might be lots of bugs fixed but that isn't a party. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
