Bootstrapable Debian,Wookey,http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2011/debconf11/low/745_Bootstrapable_Debian.ogv,"Cyclic dependencies, staged builds and cross-compiling",en,"Debian is extremely difficult to bootstrap for a new architecture or a new ABI, and every time someone does the work it's incredibly painful. We have a lot of cyclic build-dependencies which means there is no valid build-order, and many packages don't cross-build properly, where at least some of the packages must be cross-built for a new port. We also don't have tools to manage such bootstrap-builds. In practice people tend to use some other system to get started, then try to turn it into Debian. We really ought to be able to bootstrap ourselves.
This talks explains the issues (with pretty graphs!), shows how to fix them, which packages and tools are affected, and covers the current state of this work. It also explains why people want/need this functionality, and what affected package maintainers need to do to keep things bootstrappable. Making all this work makes Debian useful in various places where currently it isn;t very useful, which is why engineering effort is available from various companies. Lets take the opportunity to fix it properly.

Medicine is a real niche topic in the Free Software world because the number of user is small and quite a share of those users is conservative about the use of software and has some money left to spend for proprietary licenses. So isn't it crazy to just address this target user group with a dedicated part of Debian? Yes it is, but we used as a start this part where Free Software has several friends: In bio-medical research. So the project began to grow healthy and is now might serve as a positive example for other Blends: If it is possible to successfully establish a Blend in a niche area how much better success could be gained in other fields which are much better covered by Free Software?",2011-07-30,bof,DebConf11

Powerful actors can strongarm the existing Domain Name System (or proprietary/centralized services like facebook, twitter, and github) and effectively remove a group from the publicly-visible 'net without even touching any of the associated machinery.
There are some promising new tools that allow for massively decentralized, distributed naming, and many of them are being made available within Debian.
