Some of the topics in the menu: - Installing and using Debian: how to install Debian, run live images, use virtual machines, understanding architectures, Debian suites, available window managers, etc. - Packaging for Debian: learn the basics of Debian packaging and fill your first ITP (even better if you don't know what ITP is about!). - Encryption in Debian: how encryption is used in Debian, gpg basics, creating your first gpg key, etc. - Communication channels: mailing lists, IRC channels, Debian Social, Matrix bridges, Debian planet, Wiki, Bits.d.o, creating your accounts. - New contributor guidance: Getting listed in contributors.debian.org, understanding terms like DM/DD-upl/DD-non-upl and the New Member process. - Learn how to use mentors.debian.net: getting your packages into Debian - Managing bugs in Debian: Debian BTS and Salsa We will conduct discussion sessions based on interest and the availability of volunteers to guide the subjects. Come along to help and/or to learn! And of course, participants would be encouraged to bring their own topics of interest.
