Jochen asked to the launchpad team to have QEMU ARM buildds. We will rebuild 
the packages. I would love to have launchpad infrastructure in debian ....

I packaged collada-dom:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/collada-dom.git

please use that. If you don't like it, we can change it. But we need one.

I don't know Jochen, mine is a table with some drink and maybe some nice meal. 
:-)

I think that Jochen have created a debian-robotics channel, so it could be a 
good. Mail is also good.
