The 09:25 Talgo train from Cáceres to Madrid Chamartín was indeed a Debian train. I think we did set the world record of number of Debian-related people in the same train. As promised, I have to publish the results: the final count is 44 (out of which 8 in first class).

We were roughly about 50% of the train passengers as far as I could easily guess (I did not count the total number of passengers to avoid looking too suspect to these passengers...the train conductor was already staring at me...quite puzzled of not being the only person counting people in that train).

To my knowledge, the record of highest number of Debian people in a plane was set in 2004, for Debconf 4, when several dozens of folks ended up in an Air France Sao Paulo-Porto Alegre flight that was the connection flight for most of Europe. However, at that time, I was too shy in the Debian community to even imagine counting. So, we still have to officially set that record.

Anyway, this has again been an amazing Debconf. Congratulations should of course go to the organizers, with special thanks to Anto and César (and their girlfriends) who will finally be able to live again.

Adios a todos!
