Maybe organise a sprint during another big event like fosdem, debconf or fossasia. I took preparations to run the virtual debian booth @ fosdem: made sure i was not at home but at another place with power and internet, informed family i would be off. For myself, if I don't prepare like that, I won't be able to "attend" an event like this. O, and maybe announce not just @ debian-med and debian-sprints, but also @ debian-science and debian-r. I wish and work on being able to join next time. My € 0,02, Bye, Joost
