Re: DebConf in Montreal in 2016
Bonjour, du nouveau du coté du comité d'organisation et de
l'avancement du dossier ?
Ça m'a pas l'air de bouger beaucoup le wiki.
Donc j'ose pas trop lancer la lourde machine UQAM si j'ai pas des
trucs plus ou moins raisonnable à leur vendre.
La machine UQAM c'est beaucoup d'énergie à lancer, et sans doute
beaucoup à arreter.
Pour information, pour l'instant, Louis Martin, je cite, "D'entrée de
jeu, [...] trouve le projet fort intéressant.".
Je suis aussi en contact avec Sophie Laberge qui s'occupe des
événements spéciaux.
Mais j'attends quelques infos de votre part pour continuer.
