We will be working at IRILL, near Place d'Italie. I hope we can organize the meetup at some place nearby. Where do you gather usually? For more interactive discussion, you can join our IRC channel on #debian-ruby at irc.debian.org. About the dinner offer, I am sure that the other participants of the Debian Ruby meeting will agree with me that it is a wonderful idea, and thank you in advance for the invitation. > > > > We are not sure we will have time to prepare a proper presentation.

Thanks for the list of questions. We'll try to answer those. I am sure we can do also a crash course in Debian packaging for gems too. > By the way, some people are just thankfull for your work and doesn't > have any question, so i thought i would be a good idea just to relay > their thanks here :) Hé hé, that's good news and makes us happy :) Cheers, Cédric
