We don't know yet how +it will turn out, but the **approach to the meeting** has been a commendable +one: aim at as much diversity as possible (first gathering people informally to +get some ballpark dates, then with an announcement sent to the +[most appropriate place](http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions)), +be transparent about the organization, and engage in keeping others informed ex +post. As they say here in France, «chapeau» for this attempt at *factual* +**cross-distro collaboration**. + +Debian is present at the meeting, represented by Enrico Zini and David +Kalnischkies. Thanks to them (for being there), to Vincent Untz (for the +organization), to Novell/SUSE (for sponsoring part of Debian attendees' +expenses), and to Debian donors (whose +[donations](http://www.debian.org/donations) have been used to sponsor the +rest). + +[[!tag lang/english planet-debian debian dpl crossdistro]]
