Hello world!
DebConf 18 is drawing near! Most of us are already making plans — How
to get there? Do we need a visa? What teams do I want to work with?
How to structure my days at DebCamp?
But as in any conference, and DebConf will not be different, probably
one of the most important points is... What do I expect to take part
of? What talks will we see?
The Call for Papers¹ is still open. The following list is –by far– not
final; if we are to follow other years' trends, I'd expect to see
around three times the number of talks we are currently approving.
¹ https://debconf18.debconf.org/cfp/
So, we have the following list of 36 approved talks.² Of course, it's
still pending confirmation by the submitters (some of them have not
yet bought their travel tickets)!

Your talk is not listed? Don't fret! It will probably be accepted, but
we cannot *yet* announce it.
Haven't submitted your talk? Have an idea you think is important for
Debian to discuss? Don't delay! Remember the deadline for including
your talk in the official schedule is *June 17*.
Finally, regarding the CfP - Although DebConf is quite near already,
remember an important part of CfP is suggesting invited speakers! Do
you know of somebody who can give an interesting topic at our
conference, even if they are not (yet?) directly related to Debian?
Mail contact@debconf.org and lets talk about it!
