I think it makes sense to call it "Debian Science Round-Table" again, and drop the Debian Med meeting from this (unless I misinterpret the above, I cannot see the Pentabarf submission). Specific team meetings should be seperate BoFs I think, and I will propose one for Debichem (though not sure enough people show up to make it happen). > 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 Sounds good. > 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 I'm not convinced GIS really fits with Debian Science - if we don't get enough talks for a half day track, we should just drop it I guess. But I don't really feel strongly either way. > There are also two Debian Med related events I did registered.

Is this the same event as 989 above? Why wouldn't a meeting of Debian Science fit into the Science Track? Unless I am misinterpreting the type "meeting", is this some hallway track thing, rather? > 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.

In my experience it takes prodding of particular people and/or reachout to get science talks. On the one hand, there are quite a few high-profile research centers in Switzerland (especially around Zurich) compared to the last two Debconf locations, on the other hand, Le Camp is rather remote, so I am not very sure about asking some people without very strong ties to Debian to submit an event.
