Mancoosi paper for DebConf8 now available

As previously
announced, I'll be attending DebConf this year, as I did for
the past 3 years.

Beside the usual projects and ideas one carries with himself on
his way to a DebConf, this time I will also be there to present
part of my everyday work in the Mancoosi project. Very briefly
(and a bit too simplistic) Mancoosi is working on pushing forward
the research and technology needed to deliver better package
managers to the users of open source software
distributions.

The project
presentation event proposed by me and Ralf Treinen has
been accepted in the DebConf main track. The presentation will
discuss what the former EDOS
project did, what Mancoosi is doing right now, trying to focus
on their relationships with Debian. In case you are interested I
suggest to attend the talk which will be delivered by yours truly
(what else can I suggest? )

In the meantime, the
accompanying paper is now available, you can take a
sneak peek if you are interested in knowing more about Mancoosi
right ahead. The paper is available in .pdf format
from both my homepage and from the Pentabarf
event page as an attachment (the latter, as all
Pentabarf events, needs login for reasons that I still fail to
understand ...).
