- "derivative (sliding away from Debian) and blending (aiming for inclusion in "

- "workshop became quite a challenge: Amazing thunderstorms caused frequent "
- "power outages and internet connection was mostly unavailable during the "
- "session, leading us to spend most time constructing a creative ad-hoc "
- "network combining ethernet, wifi, sneakernet and 3G, to share my "
- "pre-existing approx cache package of Debian packages needed to use boxer."
