I think I could come more or less from the 24th to the 27th, do you
have already planned some of the activities? I really look forward in
learning more about Lily's internals, ad I would be glad if I could
help with debugging the build scripts (which scripting language do you
use?) - also I will be glad to discuss my experience in using lilypond
in a "musicological" friendly way.
