Call for Bids for DebConf 20



It is that time of year. We're looking for people interested in hosting
a DebConf in 2020.

Submitting a proposal at this point does not commit you to anything,
it just gets your foot in the door, before submitting a formal bid
towards the end of the year.

Anyone interested should contact Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@debian.org> or the
debconf-team list <debconf-team@lists.debian.org>, so that you can
present your bid on Saturday [0].

[0]: https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/126-debconf20-in-your-city/

The proposal presentations don't need to be very complete, all you
really need is:

1. A local team (or the people you think you can pull into a team).
2. Ideas for a venue.
3. Some exciting pictures, to make everyone want to visit your city.

From past experience, I can say that running a DebConf can be quite a
rewarding (and exhausting) experience. You'll get to bring your Debian
friends to your home town, and share your favourite local experiences.
It goes a lot better with some help. So the local team really is an
important part. Probably *the* most important thing at this point.

Looking forward to seeing your bids!

SR
