[java-gnome-hackers] [mark@klomp.org: Fosdem, Debian, java-gnome, bugwatcher]

[Mark H. <mh...@de...>]

Hi,

Are any other java-gnome hackers planning to go to fosdem? I really
would like to go but unfortunately have other plans that weekend.=20

If you don't know about it already, there will be a dev room for Open
source java developers and Debian developers where it looks very much
like huge progress will be made in promoting free Java and more
importantly getting it compiled into the 'main' (i.e. truly free)
section of Debian. See below for program.
