[Parl-user] Use of mailinglists by Commission / merits of Debian

[Jacques.Verraes at ec.europa.eu]

Dear Jonas,

I am back in Brussela (see my previous message) and would really like to meeting you, as proposed to discuss all things Debian. In particular, of course about how to describe Debian for a very interested Commission Helpdesk. 
Can I invite you for lunch next week Monday or Wednesday?

Best regards

Jaap

Happy to meet you then as Debian sales person or any other quality, but wld it be possible to send a first informative, generic contribution to the CION HELPDESK sooner, and let it know that more is on its way (after we met)?
