Hi all, as you might know, the DebConf Team produces a Final Report after every DebConf and it is year after year a quite epic adventure to get it finished in a reasonable timeframe. The DebConf Final Report serves several purposes: first it is a lasting trace of what the conference has been, in terms of attendees experiences, organisational and financial challenges, opportunities, etc. Second, it is a testimonial of to what use the sponsors' money was spent and an incentive for future (and permanent) sponsors [0]. It would be really nice to manage to share the load for the writing of this year's final report. As you can see on the coordination wiki page: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/FinalReport … there are slightly more than 20 texts to be written, some of which can be written partly or completely before the conference, some of which can be written partly or completely by attendees not necessarily involved in the DebConf Team. It would be truly awesome if texts such as "Debian Day" or "Day Trip" could be adopted by attendees wanting to report on these events; by taking pictures, collecting impressions, and finally writing your article [2]. If you are interested in taking such a responsibility, please put your name in the table on the wiki page above. (As for leader@ and DebConf Team members, it would be nice if each of us could take [alone or in collaboration] responsibility for the texts in our areas of interest already in advance, to get a better overview on the areas missing workforces for the report. I know it feels bizarre to work on the Final Report now, but considering that the work is ramping up for all of us, that's probably the best period to put time on the final report. We'll see how that goes.) Many thanks in advance, cheers, OdyX [0] Some sponsors require to get such a report after the conference, some others want to see the past report before committing to sponsorship. [1] And next years' also, of course. [2] If done sufficiently fast, this could also be promoted on the DebConf blog (and planet Debian), for example.
