Sandro,

Thanks for him ^^

And he -also-  did a great job, with leading several devs 
who never yet send code to PostGIS trunk (but really motivated to).

Kind of thing that can't really be done remotely.
Kind of thing we could hope lead to enlarge later PostGIS devs circle.

Obviously we tried to get some fun (in Paris). And hope we did.


But real point is to share time together with projects in mind.
Point is to strengthen, again, devs community.

Because beside code, there's humans.
And humans who truly need to cooperate.




And we know since the very first C tribe sprint in Toronto (thanks Paul),
that once a year spending few days together is valuable for our projects.

Because no, moving a project forward is not -only- a closing tickets stuff.



You didn't want to come Sandro, this time, for your own reasons, 
and i'm fine with that, and respect it.
(even if you missed, at the very least on PostGIS talks).


But if anachoret way of life could be an answer for a single,
it's something that can hardly be for a community.

Why an OR ?
It have to be an AND.
