Ack, but I'm not sure potential users would be convinced by Debian running on a 7 year old mobile device from before the iPhone era (keyboard instead of finger-oriented) with no warranty and a known to be brittle USB socket.

These devices are created by people somewhat related to the FLOSS world, so it makes sense that they would work on upstreaming Linux/bootloader support for them. The Pyra looks almost perfect but has PowerVR and won't have the same modem isolation/monitoring as the Neo900. I am really looking forward to the Neo900 existing (sigh PowerVR) but I'm not sure I will be able to afford it and many laptops are cheaper than it. > Before having an N900, I had a Sharp Zaurus clam-shell handheld (which > is not a phone), but pure Debian could be installed on that too IIRC. > Debian has for a long time been a good alternative OS for handhelds, it > is just rare that they ship with 'pure' Debian preinstalled (for even a > quite liberal definition of pure).

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Do not photograph checkbox in registration
On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 2:49 PM, Aigars Mahinovs wrote: I would like to ask to remove the Do not photograph me checkbox in Debconf registration form as we do not really have a technology to implement that. As someone who checked that option (mainly in solidarity with privacy conscious DebConf attendees I've met over the years), I agree it is quite pointless. In practice, the attendees I'm thinking of watched talks from outside rooms and didn't participate in discussions. One attendee I spoke to had adverse consequences due to be photographed and identified in a photo. I don't remember the details and wouldn't mention them here anyway. As an alternative I propose setting up guidelines on which zones in the conference will be photo-free so that people that do not want to be in pictures can avoid them. For example, hacklabs can be photo free (we just need a few shots of people working in them for the whole conference) and there is no reason to explicitly photograph back rows of auditoriums, also for cafeteria we only need a couple photos and the rest of the time that can be photo free as well. I have often thought photography-acceptable zones (aka a whitelist of photographable locations) would be the right way to go for DebConf. The photo-free zones you mention here seem appropriate. You should expect to be photographed if: you are a speaker, you ask a question, you sit in front rows, you are having an animated discussion or a hack session in the hallways, you are on the daytrip (near me), you are at the cheese and wine party, formal dinner or group photo. I think we should give speakers the option (want no recording, want only be audio recorded, want recorded on video+audio or don't mind either way). We can make that choice more obvious to attendees and photographers by putting up notices on the doors and next to the speakers. I think we should have photo-free zones where people can still ask questions during talks. Part of that might just be only photographing people who stand while asking questions, but probably also the rear of talk rooms. I guess it is indeed hard to not photograph people sitting near a speaker who doesn't mind being photographed, you could crop them out after the fact though. Animated discussion or hack sessions don't seem like things that need to be photographed, but perhaps photographers could ask the group in question before doing so. The daytrip might be hard to accommodate folks who prefer not to be photographed in. The CW party and dinner could possibly be handled by asking for permission. At any point before, during or after a photo is taken, any person in the photo can ask for the photo to be removed or their identity concealed. Given the DebConf Code of Conduct, having that option seems very much necessary. http://debconf.org/codeofconduct.shtml I believe that this is a reasonable middle ground, but I would like to hear feedback on this from people who did/do not want to be photographed at Debconf. Fairly reasonable yes.

As an attendee and speaker I found that not enough information was available about the schedule and set of non-approved talks. I had to brute-force the talk ID space to decide if there would be enough interesting events and read about them. I could not report schedule conflicts between talks I needed to attend until the schedule had already been announced. I couldn't easily find out who the speaker for an event was. In my opinion the too much information issue was in leaking the registered attendee list to people loading the event registration page. Also the default for attendees should be to be able to mark their attendance but choose who sees it (admins, speakers, attendees or general public), with admins (or maybe speakers) being the default. The presented information was confusing in some instances; I had to inform people that bold means it is the speaker or that you can login to confirm that. I think it would be better to define a list of people and their relationship with the event (speaker, facilitator, panel member, other required, video team, likely to attend, might attend, etc) and present those roles on the event page. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Registration now open for DebConf11
2011/4/8 Rogério Brito rbr...@ime.usp.br: * In the DebCamp part of the registration, the DebCamp options are: + I won't be attending DebCamp + I have a specific work plan for DebCamp + I don't have a specific plan for DebCamp (week payment (450) required) Do the people I don't have a specific plan for DebCamp, but I am willing to do some slavery Debian-related work while I am on a trip far, far away from my country have to pay for that fee? This was my reason for not checking that box the past year and I see that it is still there, causing me confusion once again. Probably the best idea here is to pick something you always wanted to work on but never had a nice concentrated chunk of time to make any progress on. Failing those, there are always plenty of RC bugs to work on and lots of DDs to sponsor NMUs or there is usually lots of infrastructure work to do (dak, bts, pts/ddpo, packages.d.o, wiki, fonts review, buildd stuff, d-i etc). If you don't want to do those, then fixing all of the bugs in your packages or your team's packages would be good too :) -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] Debian MiniConfs!
Hi all, So, DebConf is in the final hours and we will all be going home soonish. This part always makes me a bit sad but inevitably brings me back next year to see everyone again. BUT, you don't need to miss everyone for the whole year between DebConfs since there are some Debian MiniConfs organised between now and then... As we heard in Jalhdar's lightning talk, there is a Debian MiniConf in India very soon: http://in2010.mini.debconf.org/ http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIndia/MiniDebConf2010 There is also a Debian MiniConf at FOSSASIA in Vietnam in early November: http://fossasia.org/ If anyone knows of any more Debian MiniConfs, please post about them, contact debconf-team to get a mini.debconf.org domain and add the events to the Debian website and other places like the LWN Calendar. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

While i'm happy to obey debian-specific guidelines for debian-specific purposes, i have no intention of obeying debian-specific guidelines for projects outside of debian, except perhaps by coincidence. I'm *not* saying that i will sign keys blindly or anything, but there are scenarios and groups i interact with where it is meaningful and/or useful to sign a role key, a machine key, or a pseudonymous key, for example. If debian makes up some debian-specific guidelines that say you must not sign pseudonymous keys, i cannot follow those instructions without changing my key (or having a debian-specific key unrelated to my non-debian identity, which seems to defeat the whole point of the binding). Would subkeys help in this scenario?
