Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2005 17:24:40 +0200 Hi. My name is Jesus Climent and I represent the Debian Project [1], a non-profit organisation which aims to create a universal and free operative system, based on the Linux and BSD kernels with the GNU applications. For the last 5 years we have been organising a week of conferences in different countries, with the objective of meeting the people we work with from all around the world [2]. Some companies involved in the development of Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/BSD are helping the organisation of this year's event, by providing support for food and housing. Enterprises like Nokia, HP, IBM and others have already agreed to fund us in some way or another. This year we are organising such event in Finland, and we have already agreed with TKY to rent a complete building to host the expected 200 developers which will attend from all over the globe, from July the 1st to the 18th (although the Official period for the conferences is shorter). The organisation of Debconf relies completely on donations and other ways of non-monetary help provided by companies and institutions. Therefore, I (representing the Organisation Committee) would like to apply for HUT to provide some of the CS Department facilities, which otherwise we would need to rent from HUT. We would need the 2 main auditoriums and some extra rooms, which were already discussed with Mr. Heikki Arppe. A more concrete and detailed description of the actual needs will be sent shortly after we receive a positive answer on the will of HUT to help our organisation. I have already contacted Heikki Arppe together with Heikki Saikkonen and they would support the request.
