Not really a track because a track needs events that might fit into the track first. Regarding the Science events I did register: https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc13/event/989 Because I do not have any idea whether everybody can read this: Debian Science meeting DebConf meeting of the Debian Med team Items to discuss in this meeting - Debian Science team policy - Using citations - Maintaining other scientific metainformation - Maintaining Blends tasks - More specific Blends (dedicated to Mathematics, Physics, Electronics, etc.) - DebTags - Screenshots - Snapshots of specific versions This is just a continuation from previous DebConfs considering recent development For everybody who wants to throw in ideas please do it here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/ProblemsToWorkOn Partly fitting to the science track I did register as well: Debian GIS meeting DebConf meeting of the Debian GIS team https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc13/event/990 There are also two Debian Med related events I did registered. One of this is a talk that is actually not about medical / biological stuff but rather how you can create a successful Blend (IMHO a perfectly nice fit if we really might need to fill up the science track) and the other one is just a meeting of Debian Science people - no need to put this in any track. > In general, I > would volunteer if nobody else steps up, but I am not sure it makes > sense as the deadline for abstract submission is nearby and I don't know > if we have any science related submissions yet. I never ever have heard a DebiChem talk but I would like to. Considering the video recording you could gain a larger audience for DebiChem - a chance I personally would not miss. I could imagine a lot of other interesting talks from the science people - specifically after the nice meeting in Grenoble last year. BTW, I volunteered to evaluate and schedule DebConf events (as in previous years) and so I definitely have the track concept in mind.
