Oh and don't forget people there is a meeting at Syleham on the 22nd of August, there has been talk of having a bbq at this meeting also :)
This is close to debian's 11th birthday, IIRC, so how about some cool debian-based things? I'll bring dyne:bolic for people to prod in fear. I'll even try to understand enough of it to demo something fun beforehand.
If wanted, I'll answer questions about debian sysadmin (as in DemosWantedDemosOffered), but I'll only have a short intro prepared (/Kirsten, will you be there?). With any luck, the dyne:bolic system will give me a safe and reasonably debian-like environment to demonstrate it and to demonstrate how well debian recovers from catastrophic user error ;-) I want a walk-through of the new debian-installer, if someone is able to show that. Realistically, I'm not going to get around to looking at it before then. I see Ashley wants to know about upgrading to and using kernel 2.6 in Debian.
Flaming things is also very appropriate for a debian birthday celebration, so what's needed for the BBQ?
Finally, that will be one week before the main Software Freedom Day, so is anyone interested in making it into that? http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/
