The Extremadura meetings are over, but a similar opportunity has been proposed by CETRIL (and somewhat not enough advertised) in Soissons (France). The coming session (in February) is dedicated to Debian-edu: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/DevCampFrance2007 but is not strictly limited to it (I feel there are many skills that can be shared between CDD-like distributions). They still have (many) places left for those who might be interested in. > I think of some forthcoming events that might welcome such a gathering: > - the next Fosdem in Belgium (February 2007) http://www.debian.org/events/2007/0224-fosdem But nothing really science related so far.

There is a possibility (not yet confirmed) of a CETRIL DevCamp similar to the one mentioned above for Debian-edu (30 people) around LSM/RMLL event (week before or after July 14th). Would any people of Debian-science be interested in participating in such a coding event? (I am pushing the Debian-science topic to be considered alongside Debian-edu). > Are there enough people to gather? ;-) On which subjects? Personally, I am (slowly and) silently working on subjects as live-cd production with debian-live, archive management for debian-science packages that are not (yet) in the official archive and packaging. With respect to the above events, I will attend Fosdem and try to free myself to go to the Debian-edu DevCamp. I am unsure whether Debconf is of any interest with respect to science related matters (I had no time to propose a talk there). And I will try to make the LSM / RMLL science topic an attractive event (any suggestions welcome, the earlier, the better). :-) Best regards, Frédéric Lehobey
