Personally, I favor the March meeting because we would possibly see its output show up in Etch, but the most important is to have experienced Debian developers available (which we do not have yet). Maybe March is a bit too close. If you are interested in please share your mind about that. > >2/ What for? > >Technical work.

An announcement of the final date decision would be nice. I think the final date decision is in the hands of the local organisers. Please Andreas (Schuldei) could you tell us whether the two remaining slots (March and December) are still available? Is a Debian science workshop eligible for Extremadura sessions? What would be the final date decision according to your own constraints? Best regards, Frederic
