<toc-add-entry name="dc11">Feedback after DebConf11</toc-add-entry>
<p>
After his <a href="#twid"><q>This week in Debian</q> interview</a>,
Adnan Hodzic wrote his <a href="http://foolcontrol.org/?p=1310">DebConf11
summary and its after effects</a>.
He offers an inside view of the DebConf organization, shares part of
the stress and the amazing experience he had with other organizers.
Among the consequences, the Government of Republika Srpska may
seriously consider free and open source softwares for their own use,
and Adnan took some vacations to prepare himself for his next projects.
