Of course, you won't see any of them because you'll be staring at a
screen the whole day. ;-)
In general, I think that real life meetings can be quite effective. I
just wanted to use this opportunity to mention that Debian has funds
which can be used for developer meetings if they have a useful purpose
(and are not done in secret...). I am quite willing to authorize
spending Debian money on productive meetings and I hope that my
successor will do the same. This Debian-Edu meeting is mostly funded
by NUUGF/Skolelinux but I have committed 2000 EUR of Debian's funds
for it as well.
If people are planning developer meetings (and I think there has been
some discussions about getting the QA people together into a room),
please do send a proposal to debian-project and leader@ and we'll see
what can be done to help you.
