Ok, quick opinions: • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/456 Cooperation and Social Status in Free and Open Source Projects Might give an interesting overview on our project's inner workings. I think it is interesting for outsiders to understand us — Of course, I understand Gaudenz wants the talk to be seen by us, but it might be a point driving towards higher DD participation in OpenDay/DebianDay/whatever. • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/373 Free Beer, Power and Knowledge This talk was specifically geared at OpenDay. Now, it has been said several times that this year we do not want _very_ introductory talks. Still, if there is room, I think this talk can always be interesting for some people — And for local media. • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/469 Large-scale Debian deployments BOF This can be very interesting for a wide array of attendees. Even for already long-time participants, such as people from Junta de Extremadura with LinEx. • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/473 Licence compatibility This talk looks very interesting and promising, for DDs and outsiders alike, although the level will set the audience. Please note this talk is NOT to be delivered by me, but by Spanish lawyer Jose Lancho — I submitted the talk as he had difficulties registering with Penta (and Penta assumes that any talk with no submitter was submitted by the first user alphabetically, which is quite far from true) • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/467 Understading Debian - Entendiendo Debian Specifically submitted for OpenDay, and to be delivered in Spanish. I think it can be a very good talk, it emphasizes on Debian's human, social side, and this can bring more people to our 3v1l ranks. • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/398 Debian and the Openmoko FreeRunner: one year later Can be an interesting talk showing a Debian success story on a very different setting. And it could be interesting perhaps to contrast this talk with Vince Sanders' "the death of open hardware"? • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/417 RFH maintaining big packages Unsure, but... Well, I think the most common users of said big packages (i.e. OpenOffice) are regular users. I think this can provide a good bait to get them interested into contributing back, a good taste of what problems need to be solved. And this talk would also invite DDs to participate. • https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/457 Visualizing Debian package clusters Looks quite interesting for the project as a whole. I am only proposing this one as it can give a very good, maybe even frightening, overview of Debian. ...I think those are basically what I would consider for pushing into OpenDay.
