Hello everyone! from June 5-9 at Fux, Hamburg, Germany a Mini-DebConf will be held . It will cover topics for Debian users, contributors and developers. For more information about the conference, see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2019/MiniDebConfHamburg .
** Call For Proposals Reminder ** We are still accepting talk proposals until May 26. As we plan to publish the preliminary schedule soon afterwards, we do not plan to extend this deadline. Send your proposals to [email protected]. Talks will be given on the last two days, June 8 and 9. Regular sessions may either be 20 or 45 minutes long (including time for questions), other kinds of sessions (like workshops) could have different durations. Please choose the most suitable duration for your event and explain any special requests. Also let us know if you have scheduling conflicts (e.g. you're leaving a day early). Suggested topics include: * Debian usability * Cloud and containers * Security * Packaging * Automating with Debian * Debian social * New technologies & infrastructure This list is not exhaustive, and anything not listed here is welcome, as long as it's somehow related to Debian. If in doubt, propose a talk and we'll give feedback. The intention is that talks are held in English but if you don't feel comfortable giving a talk in English, please let us know. Please include a short title, suitable for a compact schedule, and an engaging description of the event. Please provide us with information such as additional speakers, scheduling restrictions, or any special requirements we should consider for your event. The sessions will be recorded on video and these recordings will be released under a suitable free licence. ** Sprints ** The first three days of the Mini-DebConf will be dedicated to hacking, general bug squashing and targetted sprints. So far, four sprints have signed up: * DebConf19 sprint * Reproducible Builds sprints * Debian Perl Group sprint * Debian Edu / Skolelinux Further sprints are welcome! ** Registration ** Registration is still open, please register at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2018/MiniDebConfHamburg/Registration .
