Oh, it is getting near.
July 11-18 - an instance of joyous excess - week. The week it all happens. A week full of surprising schedules, swinging swimming, and singing sweeties. So much fun, and so much stress! Who will come, and who will join the workshop(s)? There are already many tech items on the wiki schedule (hardware, Debian, Gimp), and also more 'carnivalesque' workshops like the Pippi Kalora Hub Dub Session.Another issue that has come up is on how to recognize and define an /etc-developer. I developed a concept today and it looks like:
---(concept)
What is an /etc-developer?
This is a person who activily contributes in the development of the eclectic tech carnival. She is either subscribed to the etc-devel mailinglist and/or will contribute in a substantial manner during the event self. An etc-developer takes part in at least one workshop (off-or online) as an (assistant) teacher, and has a reasonibly good overview of the event itself. She helps out (when needed) with coordinating items as food, lodging, and simular. She is also ready to answer questions regarding the /etc, or at least point out the person who can. Last but not least she makes sure she is having a good time together with the other developers and participants of /etc.

Now I will wait and see what the other etc-developers think of this definition. Maybe it will become tshirt material.
