I think that was a double-misunderstanding then: when I wrote "if it doesn't need to follow the *Camp pattern too closely", I wasn't referring to the naming pattern, rather, I was referring to the character of the event. In other words, I was suggesting that that if the character of the event is more flexible, forward to debian-events-eu to see who else wants to come to Dublin. >> The question wasn't about the name alone, it was also about ascertaining >> the character of the event, e.g. will there be a focus on a technical >> topic, or will it be purely social?

Dublin has a lot of free software and Debian enthusiasts who are likely to come out of the woodwork when they hear a Debian event is taking place. That is something that couldn't happen so easily when the other *Camp events took place away from cities. So while I don't want to suggest any more about what the format will be, it may be helpful to anticipate a wider range of visitors and people who never came to a Debian event before. >> Craicamp or EireCamp perhaps? > CraiCamp has some ring to it, but I am afraid of sending the wrong > message :) > Other ideas would be welcome too, I was just hoping to get the discussion rolling. I'm around Dublin again from 10-20 November. If anybody wants to meet up for pints or keysigning during that time please say so. Regards, Daniel
