IMHO, we, Debian, should participate in LinuxTag anyway. If
somebody feels that a protest against the Schaeuble doctrine is
justified, it is better to articulate it there, not at home in
the bath tub. Note, that many people at LinuxTag may agree with
Schaeuble or are not interested in the matter at all. If one
likes to convince people, do it there, face to face.

Btw. does s/o already ITP the "Bundestrojanhorse"? If it runs
on Windows only, Debian users might feel not taken serious.

Cheers,
