As Nicolas already reported, a bunch of Debian folk gathered in the North of Italy for a long weekend of work and socialisation.

Valhalla had the idea of taking the SunCamp concept and doing it in another location, and along with people from LIFO they made it happen. Thanks to all who worked on this!

I arrived late on Wednesday, after a very relaxed car journey from Lyon. Sadly, on Thursday I had to attend some unexpected personal issues, and it was not very productive for Debian work. Luckily, between Friday and today, I managed to get back in track.

I uploaded new versions of Prometheus-related package to stretch-backports, so they are in line with current versions in testing:

• prometheus-alertmanager, which also provides a fix for #891202: False owner/group for /var/lib/prometheus.
• python-prometheus-client, carrying some useful updates for users.

I fixed two RC bugs in important Go packages, both caused by the recent upload of Golang 1.10:

• #890927: golang-golang-x-tools: FTBFS and Debci failure with golang-1.10-go
• #890938: golang-google-cloud FTBFS: FAIL: TestAgainstJSONEncodingNoTags

I also had useful chats about continuous testing of Go package, and improvements to git-buildpackage to better support our workflow. I plan to try and write some code for it.

Finally, I had some long discussions about joining an important team in Debian, but I can't still report on that
