No. I've never been to FOSDEM so far. I've had a habit for the last few
years of attending FSCONS i Gothenburg, which is fairly easy for me to
go to.

Yes. When GPS gets packaged we should add a paragraph about GPS
plug-ins. Other than that I don't foresee any changes.

Its multiarch support may be particularly worth mentioning.

OK

The state of Fedora in relation to Comfignat is that the current
versions of Fedora and EPEL 6 are ready for packages whose build
systems are based on Comfignat. Fedora has a Comfignat-compatible
directories project with multiarch support (directories.gpr), and the
RPM macros make it easy to package a Comfignat-using program or library.

I've heard about two or maybe three different Qtada. You should
probably make it clear which one you're talking about.

Good luck with your talk!
