If yes, and depending of my availability, i can be present. This depend of a lots factor of course, because i work as computer science engineer in a big research center in France, and i'm also teacher in a engineer school (evening classes). This year, i also change home, around Christmas... I'm that other 3rd party developers as Christian with KMyMoney can contribute to a coding sprint. What do you think about ?
