[foms] video september in paris (Re: VideoLAN Dev Days 2012

[Holger Levsen]

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

I'm adding cc:s to the debconf-video and dvswitch-devel mailinglists, as those 
groups might be interested to join a video/multimedia meeting in Paris... (the 
DebConf/Debian videoteam stores its hardware in Paris..)

so fullquote for their benefit:
