obviously this didn't work out on the tenth day of a fantastic debcamp/debconf
fortnite...

so, to convey our thanks, thoughts & appreciations I "hijacked" the dc26 session
on the last day: (and only now finally send this email to announce this to those
lovely locals who might have missed this!)

2024-08-01 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

I'd like to propose to take a group photo to send to the DebConf24 local team 
in Israel
and would suggest to meet for this tomorrow, Friday, August 2nd at 14:00 
localtime
in front of the Mirae building where we met for the dc24 group photo the other 
day.

If you think this is a good idea, please be there and become part of the photo.

Also, I'd like to remind to please be respectful. This is ment as a nice gift / 
message
to fellow Debian contributors who offered to host us and then couldn't, because 
of
things which are out of their control.

That's all.

obviously I cannot speak from real experience but in the maybe 2-3 hours I've
been at this beach tonight I've seen a police boat patroling the shore *twice*
(while being as close as 50m away from the beach *at most*) and several groups
of patrols making sure noone is swimming.

So I plan to go swiming there tomorrow morning at 9am, but who knows what

you clearly missed or forgot about DebConf12! :) Also, 13 had a lake near by.
and, ok, I agree the pool at DebConf19 didn't and doesn't count.

while I understand your intentions, I don't think this approach works

for the Debian events in Hamburg Gregor proposed and organized daily standup
meetings at a *regular* time (15:00 localtime) where everyone (who wanted)
very briefly (in 15s-60s usually) said their name and what they were working
on or where they needed help or wanted to give help... those were really cool

outdoor hacklab and onsite accomodation room details

2022-06-30 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

thanks to everyone making DebConf22 happen. I look forward to it a lot!

However given... corona... I'm wondering, how much of debconf22 can 
take place outside? ie will there be an outdoor hacklab, with a roof
and electricity (& wireless)? will there be opportunities to take the
food outside to eat there?

Also, for those staying on site: when will we learn about with whom one
will share a bedroom? (again, because... corona.)

Thanks.

EnkelenaH already replied to the first question on irc: "we have an outdoor 
hacklab, not too big but enough I think. WiFi and roof, close to the noisy
hacklab building - so beer too :) and from 18th another place with a roof
near the main building".

Debian Reunion Hamburg 2022 from May 23 to 30

2022-03-10 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

as last year there will be a Debian Reunion Hamburg 2022 event taking place
at the same location as previous years, from May 23rd until the 30th. See
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2021/DebianReunionHamburg for much
more information!

This is just a preliminary announcement to get the word out, that this event
will happen, so you can ponder attending. Some fine folks have even already
registered!

A few things still need to be sorted out, eg a call for papers and a call
for sponsors. If you want to help with that or have questions about the event,
please reach out via #debconf-hamburg on irc.oftc.net or via the
debconf-hamburg mailinglist, see https://lists.debian.org/debconf-mini-hamburg/

I'm very much looking forward to meet some of you again soon and getting to
know some others for the first time! Yay. It's been a long time...

Debian Reunion Hamburg 2021, we still have free beds

2021-09-20 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

We still have some free slots and beds available for the "Debian Reunion
Hamburg 2021" taking place in Hamburg at the venue of the 2018 & 2019 
MiniDebConfs
from Monday, Sep 27 2021 until Friday Oct 1 2021, with
Sunday, Sep 26 2021 as arrival day. 

So again, Debian people will meet in Hamburg. The exact format is less 
defined and structured than previous years, probably we will just be
hacking from Monday to Wednesday, maybe have some talks on Thursday and
a nice day trip on Friday.

Please read https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2021/DebianReunionHamburg
if you intend to attend, please register there. If additionally you would
like to stay on site (in a single room or shared with one another person),
please mail me.

I'm looking forward to this event, even though (or maybe also because) it will
be much smaller than last years. I suppose this will lead to more personal
interactions and more intense hacking, though of course it is to be seen
how this works out exactly!

I believe the poll being prepared misses a "we're in a global pandemic, please
cancel this event" option.

I also believe organizing DebConf as an in person event in August 2020
is endangering the participants *and* others, and if GRs were not
such a pain (and a big hammer) I were pondering to have one for not
organizing this in Debian's name.

I'm sorry but this is how I see things currently.

if something is streamed, it can be recorded. been there done that. apt
install obs-studio is a good start if you want to try yourself, eg for
'undownloadable' videos from netflix or jitsu or foo bar.

also, if something is streamed over the internet, it also will also be always
recorded. remember this snowden dude?

i'm a bit sad that those two simple statements above are mostly not
understood in the Debian community as well.

I'm Holger Levsen

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,700
and since 5 years I've been working on Reproducible Builds

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,100
where we aim to create a more secure delivery chain for software productions.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,100
Our aim is, that one can be sure

5
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,400
that the tools built

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:26,300
don't contain any backdoors, that they all do the same.

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,500
In the past

8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:33,900
'reproducible' or 'reproducible programms' ment

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,400
'I built a program twice

10
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,800
und I twice get a program which does the same things.'

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,900
For us, it means 'bit by bit identical'

12
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,000
as in I build a program twice

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,100
and as a result I have twice an identical pile of bits,

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,900
which is 100% the same.

15
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:54,800
I've got two pizzas here, made by machines,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,000
but they are different because

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
the ingredients, food, simply is organic, thus different.

18
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,100
While these two bags of lego

19
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,200
let you build two times a 100% identical result.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,200
This lego is not fully identical...

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,500
the proof has been made

22
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,200
I'm not a machine.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,100
wo wir die Lieferkette für Software Produktionen sicherer machen wollen.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,100
Das soll dazu dienen, daß mensch dann sicher sein kann,

5
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,400
daß die Werkzeuge, die das baut,

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:26,300
daß da keine Hintertüren eingebaut sind, daß die alle dasselbe machen.

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,500
Früher war's so

8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:33,900
"reproduzierbar" oder "reproduzierbare Programme" heißt

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,400
"ich bau ein Programm (zweimal)

10
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,800
und es kommt zweimal ein Programm raus,
das dieselben Dinge tut."

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,900
Bei uns heißt das aber "bit für bit identisch"

12
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,000
also ich baue zweimal ein Programm

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,100
und das Ergebnis hat zweimal denselben Bithaufen,

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,900
der sieht 100% identisch aus.

15
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:54,800
Ich hab hier zwei Pizzen, die sind von Maschinen gemacht

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,000
aber sie sind unterschiedlich weil

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
die Zutaten, Lebensmittel, sind einfach organisch, sind unterschiedlich.

18
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,100
Während hier, zwei Legobeutel...

19
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,200
und da lässt sich jetzt einfach zweimal 100% dasselbe raus bauen.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Dieses Lego ist nicht ganz identisch...

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,500
der Beweis ist erbracht,

22
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,200
ich bin keine Maschine.

Isle of Flowers (Portuguese: Ilha das Flores), a 1989 Brazilian short film by Jorge Furtado

2019-07-18 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

if you dont know "Isle of Flowers" (Portuguese: Ilha das Flores), a 1989
Brazilian short film by Jorge Furtado, I highly recommend watching it,
it's quite very awesome and just 13min long.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Flowers spoils the plot, so be
careful.

It was available on youtube last year, but since then has been removed
(or maybe just moved?), so for a short time there's a friendly copy available
at http://nextcloud.rocketjump.eu/index.php/s/GdJPJozzegMwCfs for you to
download and enjoy!

So, download now and watch now or later! ;)

Instead of sending your money to the US (with uber) I think it's much

http://ericholscher.com/blog/2016/nov/12/questions-at-conferences/ has
more good suggestions:

--quote begin--
Speaker goes to the front of stage for questions

At my own conferences, Write the Docs, we have established the norm of not
having full audience questions. After each talk we ask the speaker to come
to the front of the stage, and then have a conversation with members of the
audience with questions.

This achieves a couple beneficial results:

People are empowered to ask questions that are more specific to their 
situation, instead of trying to general them for a larger audience
The question asker isn’t given a “stage” to promote their own projects
or ideas
The speaker isn’t worried about being “called out” in front of the full
room
Everyone else in the audience is free to do whatever they want

[...]
Questions are your responsibility

As the organizer of an event, the way that you structure the event has a
direct impact on people’s experience. Opening the room to questions and not
doing any moderation is abdicating your responsibility as an organizer.
--quote end--


So yes, good room moderation is pretty important, and giving speakers
the explicit note that they dont have to accept questions seems nice
indeed.

wanted: venue for reproducible builds summit 2018

2018-07-31 Thread Holger Levsen
hi,

I'm looking for a venue for the next Reproducible Builds summit to take
place at the end of this year, probably in the week starting on November
26th or December 3rd 2018. If you are at DebConf18 and know a venue
which you think could be matching the following requirements, please talk 
to me. (Else mail me :)

We need:

- availability at the above mentioned dates from Tuesday to Thursday,
  9am to 6pm
- one big room for 30-50 people sitting in a big circle
- 4-5 breakout spaces (=small rooms)
- the possibility to have an external caterer supply food (or a real
  good onsite caterer...)
- the city should be easily reachable by plane

Thank you.

Oh, and if you're part of the Reproducible Builds team and those dates
don't work for you, please also tell me.

can we make those hacklabs warmer than the noisy hacklab? 30 degrees or
at least 28 would be, ahem, cool!

before or after or during CubaConf 2019 seems much better to me indeed!

do you already know when CubaConf 2019 will be?

thanks for your intersting feedback, I'm sure the videoteam will
appreciate those infos!

nice, but I'm not sure this will actually be helpful as often flights
are considerable cheaper if two-way and also often people cannot get
holidays long enough to visit both places. But maybe I'm wrong…

awww. pity!

(out of curiosity: is the filesize of the videos also a problem or is
that fine/ok once you got internet access?)

shirish,

you are writing 100 lines about a subject you dont know, to a person you
dont know. Doesnt it cross your mind that this behaviour is - at best - 
a waste of time? Also: this can be really harmful. Please dont do that.

IRC orga meeting for MiniDebConf in Hamburg in May 2018

2017-11-18 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

so some people said they wanted to help making that MiniDebConf in Hamburg
happen, which I'm much looking forward to! :) So here's how to get involved:

we will have the 1st orga meeting to plan preparing the Mini DebConf (which
will take place from the May 16-20 2018) on IRC on irc.ofct.net in the channel

#debconf-hamburg
on Monday, October 27th 2017, at 19 UTC (=20 CET)

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2018/MiniDebConfHamburg is the general
place for all things orga. Quoting from that very page:

Open tasks

[ ] agree on levels of sponsorship
[ ] send out call for sponsors before December 1st 2017, so companies can 
account for this in their 2018 budget
[ ] add registration to this wikipage
[ ] ask for help from publicity team
[ ] ask videoteam for help
[ ] make cost estimate
[ ] form sponsors team
[ ] form content team
[ ] announcement/CfP on d-d-a
[ ] find sponsors
[ ] form frontdesk team and location at the venue
[ ] logo
[ ] tshirts

Further (meetings) announcements and discussions about the mini debconf shall
take place on debian-events-eu@l.d.o (only), I (currently?) think a dedicated
mailinglist is overkill. A summary from the meeting will also be posted
to debian-events-eu@l.d.o. And I'll try to come up with an agenda before the 
meeting.

Looking forward to see you on IRC & in May in Hamburg!
