Alexander Brotman, abrotman, is a guy from Philadelphia, US. He is a dumbass because he can come to DebConf6 [http://www.debconf.org/], he is a nice Debian user, helps a lot at #debian on irc.debian.org, but feels himself out of context on a place like DebConf.

He has said previously that he would like to have a DebConf at the US, but honestly, that is a bit over reality, at least for three or four years from now. The closest he could get a DebConf will be this one, on Mexico. The flight costs for him 350 USD, some people are spending almost 2000 to come, and he is still undecided.

I want every person out there that shares my point of view that he would definitively fit in DebConf to sign this petition, since he is my friend and I want to embarrase him a bit on public :-), but I'd be glad to have it on DebConf with lots of other nice people.

Yes, this is probably a very useless petition, but please, sign this if you support friendship and international drinking exchanges. :)

You can catch him and slap him under the nickname 'abrotman' on irc.debian.org.
