Is "debcamp" the "week before debconf" work camp mentioned here?
http://www.debian.org/events/2005/0710-debconf
Normally, I like to sponsor such events with HW but it's, erm,
"difficult" right now to ship things outside north america.
I could provide some B180's if someone from .us will hand carry
them (B180's) to Helsinki. They don't need to bring them back. :^)
I can provide remote access to faster parisc systems if there
is interest.

Lots of fun stuff. :^)
parisc-linux port keeps the "todo" list in CVS somewhat up-to-date:
http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/*checkout*/linux-2.6/Documentation/parisc/todo
Most of these things could be worked on with remote access to HW
and I'd be happy to organize/provide access to some rp2470 (a500's)
for debcamp. They will have remote console, reset, and power control.
Other things like installer, netboot, user space apps, could
also be tested/improved. Anyone wishing to mess with gfx/snd
would need some local machines of course.
hth,
