I want to thank everyone who joined in Tuesday night. I haven't had that much fun in a long time! There will be DJs at the conference dinner and the local team has asked if I could play too. After that much fun, I'm going to try and work with them and see if we can make that happen. --Sam

2019-06-30 Thread Sam Hartman
So it looks like I'm hosting a dance party Tuesday evening. I'm excited and nervous. I'm hoping to show a bit of what music means to me and to put it into the context of Debian. Most of my catalog is Trance with Progressive, Progressive House and a bit of Techno thrown in for fun. Looking for

Is it possible to buy meals on-site

2019-05-28 Thread Sam Hartman
This tends to change venu-to-venue based on how catering is handled. If we discover that schedules have changed and we need to take a meal in the venue that we did not plan to take there, is it possible to buy that on site, or is it important that we make sure to pay for any meal we might

2019-04-02 Thread Sam Hartman
So, I know that at past Debconfs people have sometimes gotten together for some impromptu dancing to music. I got interested in mixing music as part of putting together my wedding. Because I'm blind, most of the existing DJ software wasn't something I could approach. (Yes, digital vinyl
