Oh yes, he pinged me on IRC, and gave me the card this morning before the day trip.

[Debconf-discuss] lost OPUS card
Hi, I think I lost an OPUS card earlier today, which I only noticed when already at the Metro station when leaving. I should have probably lost it at the tables on the left side of Rex, when I left after the "Installing Debian BoF" (17:00-17:45). signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

I used playonlinux (contrib), which is a frontend to wine, to install the Adobe PDF Reader for Windows and used it from there.

Well, they didn't try, they did it. AFAICT the form require proprietary PDF features (some type of javascript-like thing) that is not supported by any of the free PDF readers. I had to use Acrobat Reader installed via playonlinux. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
[Debconf-discuss] trouble uploading PDFs for Canada visa?
Hello, I am trying to upload the required documents in the Canadian visa process, but their application won't accept any PDF file saying it is "not a valid PDF file". I double-checked every file and they _are_ valid PDFs, I even tried creating a very simple PDF from LibreOffice, but that was also rejected. So, something in their system is broken. Then, I tried the upload using Chromium instead of Firefox, and it worked. I'm not sure what exactly is broken, must be something javascript-related. So, there you have it: if you also have issues with invalid PDF files on Firefox and you are sure the PDFs are not invalid, you can try using Chromium to do the uploads. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] pristine-tar BoF!
At least two people have demonstrated insterest, so we are having a pristine-tar BoF Friday at 16:10, in Menzies 13. There is also the "GBP skills exchange" BoF Thursday 17:15 in Menzies 12, which is related. I am already committed to another activity in that time slot, but if you are interested in pristine-tar and can't make it to the pristine-tar BoF on Friday, talk to Guido during the GBP BoF on Thursday. :) -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
[Debconf-discuss] pristine-tar BoF?
I recently adopted pristine-tar, because it has been orphaned for a while and it is a critical piece of infrastructure for several teams and individuals. I am not completely familiar with its internals yet, and would love to get more people onboard, among other reasons, to not have me being a single point of failure. Would anyone be interested in a pristine-tar BoF? -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org> signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
