As usual, too much things to fit in 2 days...especially with a lot of interesting rugby to see..:-)

Thanks to the event organizers who will sponsor my travel to Bangalore, I'll probably leave as of Sunday Dec. 2nd and attend the entire conference from Dec. 4th to Dec. 8th.
During earlier weeks, Sam Hocevar, the Debian Project Leader, also agreed to come to the conference and give two talks there. And, this morning, I had the nice surprise to discover that Lucas Nussbaum, one of our most tireless QA animators in Debian, will also come and give a talk about QA in Debian.
So, that should make three French DD attending and, therefore, bring a strong Debian representation in this conference, which is something I definitely find interesting as I invested quite a lot of time and energy last years to increase the Debian presence in South Asia.
This will certainly be a great occasion for us to give credit to the few people who contribute to Debian (and related projects) in India, and of course meet them in person.
Please check the list of talks to get an idea of talks.
Now for the challenge: the organizers expect our slides....by 7 days as of now. I don't know for Sam and Lucas but I have just begun working on one of my two talks (the i18n one, of course...you know: the one with the cute maps....). Would someone have a ready "How to contribute to Debian" talk somewhere? :-)

Despite a strong domination during the entire game, Toulouse could not qualify against the Welsh team.
As Guy Novès told, the Toulouse players now have to learn how to fall down in their opponents side without being seen, as the Welsh players seem to be very good at. Yes, that game was definitely stolen by Mr. Chris White who was reffing it and never saw the various obvious faults done by that Welsh team that was nearly never in position to score a try.
Having been a ref in another sport previously, I generally avoid criticizing reffing, particularly in rugby where referees are very respected and most often very wise. But I'm afraid that Mr. Chris White (ENG) is a strong exception to this.
Should I also mention a denied try by Stade Toulousain where a so-called forward pass by Dusautoir was done....by a welsh foot? Or the voluntary offside playing by Mr. Williams when Dusautoir was stopped 10 meters aways from the try line?
Sad. Really sad. The worst team won.

I left home at 06:20 to get one of the few trains running because of our strikes. Got two buses relatively easily from the station to the Embassy, then I arrived there 8:30 with already about 40 people before me in the queue. Discussion with fellow people in the queue...and I learned that there was no certain chance that I could actually *enter* the embassy to leave the form, my passport, my photos and the 50 bucks^W euros needed for a passport to India.
I entered the embassy at....11:00 when their doors opened (we've been told that strikes in French transport are the reasons for the employees to be late.....I really wonder *how* *we* got there, indeed. Apparently, all people applying for visas live in Paris 16th.
Then I got a nice ticket with a number on it (215 for the record) and began waiting in a small romm packed with dozens of people. First number called: 170.
Three hours later, I finally got the pink receipt which gives me the right to worry about my passport getting lost and, hopefully, get it back on Monday with a visa for India on it.
It's 14:45 while I'm writing this and I'm simply on my way back home after losing a full work day for a stupid administrative piece of paper.
Have to be back on Monday 16:00 to get the visa back. Someone was saying in the queue that some days, you can wait up to 23:00 to get your passport back.
It is terribly sad that this visa system still exists in some countries (not even blaming India for this: we (European Union) do exactly the same for citizens of India, forcing them to visit the French/spanish/German/whatever Schengen country in Dehli or Mumbai, to get a visa for EU. And I can really imagine what mess it can be as well.
It was however interesting to see that all this crap was happening with laughs, good stories and friendly atmosphere with all the other French people waiting. Who says that French people are harsh and rude? Or is it already the influence of India on us?
Anyway, Sam Hocevar told me yesterday he plans to come tomorrow for his application. Good luck, Sam and don't forget any of the requirements as well as a good coat, something to read (or your laptop to hack, with some spare batteries....and, no, no hackable WiFi around). Note that the 50 euros *have* to be cash money.
So, India, here I am....nearly..:-)

Interesting thread in debian-devel after I reported bugs about the use of "Homepage: " in packages descriptions and Christoph Berg objected to it. Apparently, this could lead to the support of a "Homepage:" field in debian/control which is Good.
New samba upstream release (3.0.25c) on its way. Steve Langasek did a release of the package while I was away, Peter Eisentraut did some bug triaging and Noèl Köthe prepared the release toay, searching for the bugs that are fixed. No real problem building the new version, except for the Python bindings which are nearly unmaintained (we are seriously considering to stop providing python-samba so please speak up *and* come helping if interested).
The D-I l10n-sync script was hosed for 2 weeks because of a broken Swedish translation file (I hate poEdit for this, see #420685). I really should begin seeking for a backup for D-I l10n handling as Dennis Stampfer is now apparently completely MIA.
Nothing really important apart from all this. Probably time now to begin preparing a possible trip to India for FOSS.in which I really would like to participate to, if I can find a way to fund the travel. Also time to think deeper about the proposed Extremadura i18n meeting which hasn't met a huge success, probably because we really want it to be focused on *one* goal this time (DDTP/Pootle).
