Thanks for the email, Alex. When Samuel and I were talking last year about organizing the BSP, the first thing that came to my mind was the fact that we don't have a Debian community here in Toronto/GTA. For that reason, I'm considering this as a great opportunity to bootstrap a Debian community of developers here in the GTA/Ontario, which is something I've been missing for quite some time. The Bug Squashing Party will be totally hands-on; we will just have a quick presentation about Debian packaging and its BTS (Bug Tracking System), and then we'll sit and hack. I find it important to say that because this is not an event with talks and keynotes; it's really an opportunity for Debian hackers and enthusiasts to get together, fix bugs and have fun hacking. For that reason, we strongly recommend that you bring your computer, network cables, power adapters and power bars, if you have. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
