Hello everyone I did not see any reaction to Butch invitation....
Given that I organized discussion sessions for the Offline several times in the last Wikimania, I wanted to clarify that this year, I do not intend to submit such as session. The propositions on EventYay are not public, so I have no idea whether somebody proposed something related to offline, or not. So if you did... maybe it is the right time to mention your submission. If no one submit anything... this is also the right time to jump in IF you want a session related to Offline to take place.
