Re: [Debian-NYC] Bug squashing party feedback



Hmmn, perhaps spending some time at a school or in some way doing public service helping folks install Debian....  It would be a good way to grow the OS and the group.

This is a lot of what I envision the DebSpace proposal to be. A space
people can come together and work on things.

Take the educational and community aspects of this BSP, and that's
what I hope DebSpace can become.

Speaking of which - perhaps we should schedule more "hackfest" kinds
of events.  Not quite so long as the BSP, but something people can
come and work/learn from each other.  Any ideas how to do this well?
