Debiangeek meets

The Trio heading by car to Spain for Debconf stayed the night here. It was lovely to see them, however briefly. Yesterday was not a good day for the roads around Paris, and they were shattered by the time they arrived. Hope for a better drive down through Spain.

They seemed to be impressed by House. (I really need a name for House: I've been using "Le Rivalard" but that is the name of the hamlet) and suggested, only half-seriously, that it would be a good venue for a mini-con or spodding or bug-squashing party.

I like this idea. We could fit 12 people in House, 16 in the big gite across the sunflower field, and make the garage/workshop into a dormitory. For working in, two medium-size rooms and the big rehearsal space, the terrace, and the garden. I don't think the wifi signal is good enough in the little house.

Morning sessions; afternoon trips to Roman ruins, beaches, and vineyards; evening sessions, and a talk and demo or two to the locals (in English or French).
