Agreed, and I'll be there too.

Martin, given that you are also among DebConf organizers, how about
hosting *at* DebCamp a vcs-pkg meeting? We can announce it here and
see whether other people, not necessarily related to Debian, are
willing to attend such an event, which will just happen to be
co-located with DebCamp.

Sure it will be biased, but if we announce it as a more public event,
we have good chances to attract more people than only Debian/Ubuntu
contributors.

Maybe it is too late, but in principle we can also ask the Extremadura
guys to sponsor non-Debian people to attend, as they would have been
willing to do if it were an ordinary Extremadura work meeting.

Would all that make any sense?
... I'm not sure, but it was definitely worth asking :-)

Cheers.
