[dropping Arun M's gnu.org.in address treating my mails as spam] [dropping Pirate Praveen known to be subscribed to debian-dug-in] Please everyone consider subscribe to debian-dug-in - if you are involved in a Debian(-derivative)-based distribution and/or interested in the vibrant health of Debian-related hacking in India, that list is in my opinion the best place to tune into: https://lists.debian.org/debian-dug-in/ If/when subscribed, please mention here so we can reduce the long cluttered cc list.

I am sure all have done their best with whatever code and knowledge at their hands: We are all hackers, which implies we fumble. :-) I hope we can learn from previous fumbling when going forward. The alternate approach which Siri and I believe to be most sustainable and hope to refine with your help is to not fork at all, but instead make "Debin Pure Blends" which means expand Debian to contain custom needs. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends#Terminology > I am requesting you to keep the schedule from 14 to 24 open for us. > Then we can make a schedule by ourself and we will update you. Makes sense. We now semi-fixated Kerala arrival and departure times: https://couchdesign.dk/india/ Notes for your scheduling: Siri does visual design and will focus on desktop theming (e.g. understanding and hacking GTK+/Qt theme bundles). I do Debian packaging and will focus on Debian Pure Blends (learn about needs and approaches of other distros, and maybe inspire some to move closer to Debian). Maja is a non-IT teacher - she might tag along (that might spawn some interesting collaboration), or go explore Kerala on her own. We prefer to travel by train - both to limit CO2 emission and because we better "recharge" between meetings in train than on the road or at airports. Not travelling between meetings, and meeting with same people multiple times is even better ;-) Looking forward to meet you all, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
