While there might be a nice chance to demonstrate Debian Astronomy at
such events (I did similar things with Debian Med) we just need to form
something that is presentable. I'm not totally convinced that these
events are fitting nicely for this purpose since people become
distracted by the conference programm. The only thing is to add 1-2
days in advance or after the conference for a pure Debian Astronomy
related sprint.
But as I said, some IRC meeting might do as well for a very first thing.
Kind regards
Andreas.
