Hello Neal, Hello Juergen, Hi all ! For the one who haven't yet been bothered by my messages : I am the main coordinator of the Zeroth Debian Conference, that will be held in Bordeaux, from 5th to 9th of July 2000.
I have (finally !) taken the time to browse the archives of the list, and found a couple of messages discussing about the conference. One thing must be clear : the HURD developers, as far as I know, are not very numerous ; I know that Neal and Juergen will be here. But there are other things that I know : - that the HURD is a priority ; - that RMS will be there and will probably talk about it ; - and that there are numerous people, not developers yet, but who come specifically for this subject : the HURD. Juergen is right : the main goal is to allow people to get in touch with others (other developers, other projects, etc...) ; and there is no need to be scared, Juergen : that's Debian, that's Free Software, so this won't be "too organized" ;) But just in order to allow non-developers_yet to identify the ones they want to discuss with, we need a kind of presentation of the Debian work about the HURD, so that people can say : "I want to go there, because they discuss about the subject I want informations about". My role is only to provide opportunities and facilities : not to define in details the program : that's up to you ! (but as I'm one of the people wanting more informations about the HURD, I will make some efforts in order to satisfy my personal curiosity...). For problems or questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
