Definitely say something along "Debian (GNU/Linux) install party/tutorial/presentation for GNU/Linux newbies". Also what Daniel said, "some thing about learning, meeting people, workshops, etc" (and by learning i mean learning about debian and how one could get involved). That will attract a lot of younger people who are interested but not yet involved in Free Software (GNU/Linux => Debian). -- Velimir _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
