I didn't reply earlier because I didn't know whether I would be at
debconf, but I decided to go. I am interested in joining a sprint on
reproducible builds. I haven't seen any other replies yet, but maybe
that is because not everybody who might be interested in such a sprint
is on this list?

I would like to book a plane ticket soon, I just saw a few cheap
tickets which will probably not be available for long. If we are going
to have such a sprint, will it be before or after debconf and how many
days? I think I'm just going to book the plane ticket for the period
including the sprint, because the difference in price will likely be
more than the price of a cheap hostel for a few nights.


Kind regards,
