I've been lurking on this list since slightly before DebConf17 last year (well, soon two years ago :) to which I wanted to invite you all.
Thanks; I had considered it; other things got in the way at the time, so I was sadly unable to make it. It is very kind for you to point out these events, thank you!
It's a weekend affair, so we're hoping to see people come from out of town for the 19th and 20th of January. Is there is a Debian community within GTALUG that might consider coming? Maybe you can car pool or get a cheap bus or Via Rail ticket. Maybe even a cheap flight... Don't forget that the Debian Project is willing to reimburse up to the Canadian equivalent of USD $100 of expenses for qualified contributors to attend BSPs.
I'd consider it, as I'm a Debian user, and it's certainly a good thing to: a) Give something back, b) Help with roadblocks to the new release Alas, that's a week when I can't leave town, so have to give 'regrets'. Also, I think I'd rather do Montreal in the summer. My cold weather gear has withered over the years since we don't get actually cold weather here in Toronto ;-) I'm slightly surprised that there's not enough people to do a BSP here in Toronto; there ought to be interested folk here too. I'll bet there's some interesting process involved. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
