Christian, this is a great idea. thanks for doing this.
Some thoughts about (sub)topics that come up regularly here that might
be interesting to discuss or present in person:
* The naming (ttf- to font-) transition -- what DDs should expect
* The deprecation (removal?) of defoma
* Documenting debian fonts policy (with Rogerio?) -- this could even be
a BoF
* Font Licensing -- practices to advocate upstream, gotchas to watch
out for
* Building fonts from source -- when, why, and how it can be problematic
Regards,
--dkg
