Hi all,

I would love to participate, thought I am not a GNU hacker but I would
love to figure out howto become one ...
My project is hosted on savannah.
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gsequencer/

I grew up, I am living in Switzerland and basically I am Swiss.

regards,
Joël Krähemann

Hi all

How many people do you expect? Here's a link to the youth-hostels
suitable for bigger events.
The debconf-15 was in Heidelberg.

http://www.jugendherberge-bw.de/de-DE/Gruppen/Tagungen-Seminare

This is a youth-hostel near my place, there are rooms for groups but
rather small I think:

Bests,

Hi all

I'd like to help. I live near the german border in Switzerland by
Lake-Constance. Just tell me what to do. I don't have a car
so I'm tied to public transportation.
