Hello,
I was peeking into the one or other scientific collaboration of mine to
invite them to our next Debian Med sprint. But I could not really tell
much about it, yet. Besides deciding where to convene next (which to my
recollection is decided by someone saying loudly that he/she wants to
host us ... hello?)
we should possibly also lean back a bit and decide
if we want to change the one or other thing. This could start with the
name. In my perception what we are having is not so much a
problem-focused Sprint. It is more like many Sprints held at the same
time, spiked with educational bits and team building. This year had this
twofold. It had it externally to Debian with the ELIXIR folks and it had
it internally to Debian with the promotion of continuous integration
tests. Well done! I also liked this year's clear-cut extra day.
So, what do you all think? Would it help to officially come up with
some extended Sprint format? What would you change? Nothing? More talks?
More time? Should there possibly a second Debian Med meeting on another
continent than Europe? With the same focus? Or more medical?
Is there something else we could do to ease the waiting time for the
next winter? With EU projects one has (too many) virtual meetings. But
maybe this would not be too bad after all.
Many greetings
Steffen
