Hope everyone made it well home for those who were at Debconf. For others, I'm glad for you that this week of "we are together and you'r enot with us" is finished. It was probably not that delightful seeing us share things you couldn't. I sincerely hope that even more d-w members will be able to make it at Debconf 6.
Next time, how about scheduling a presentation and discussion session over the Net, as part of the program? That way some of those of us who can't be there, can actually participate, and share in some of the info available.
I don't know how hard this would be to setup, but I'd be happy to help if I can.
It's great to be able to be present personally, and I don't think anything can really match that, but being able to be _part_ of Linuxtag or similar cons, help arrange things, "attend" talks, perhaps even contribute material, would be wonderful for those of us whose barriers to attendance are temporarily or permanently way too high.
