Re: Linuxtag Germany (Berlin) 2011 -- recap

Hi all, It was my first time manning the Debian booth. I'm not sure how useful my help was, but it was fun and a real pleasure to meet you all. Thank you all for your patience and help. I enjoyed thoroughly your company, and I look forward to meeting you next year.
