The second workshop session is tomorrow.
The format will be mostly hands-on exercises, with individual help
from experienced Debathena and XVM developers wandering the room.
Therefore the second session is a good time to come and finish
Tuesday's exercises on Debian packaging, or to start them if you
missed the first session, as well as to move on to the
config-package-dev exercises.
As before, be sure to bring your laptop.
