Issues:
* Too long to pass the news threshold?
* Wording: Debian Conference vs. Debian Developers Conference?
(fixed)
* Is this an invitation rather than a press release? ("...proudly
invites you to..." vs. "what-when-where" and
"information-ordered-by-relevance") (fixed)
* Registration information missing. (fixed)
* Some minor spelling mistakes and inconsistencies. (fixed)
* Should be reformatted to fit the Debian press release style.
(fixed)
I reworked my previous draft to include the information in this draft
and fix the above points, except the first which we could ignore and is
a matter of debate anyway.
The result is attached.
Comments? In particular, I'd like to hear a native english speaker
comment on the language.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debconf.org/ Sixth Annual Debian Developers Conference (DRAFT) events@debian.org May 1st, 2005 http://www.debian.org/News/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sixth Annual Debian Developers Conference (DRAFT) The 6th annual Debian Developers Conference (DebConf) will be held in Helsinki, Finland from July 10th to July 17th 2005. Its target audience is Debian developers, though Debian users are welcome to attend as well. The event is based around talks, workshops, demos, coding parties and discussions. It is highly technical in nature. DebConf gathers speakers and Free Software developers from around the world for a week-long series of intensive development, seminars and workshops. Targeted as the main venue for Debian contributors to improve key aspects of Debian and to present an overview of their word on Debian, DebConf5 is also an excellent opportunity for corporations and governments to discover the benefits of the world's most mature GNU/Linux distribution. DebConf is organized in collaboration with one of Finland's leading Free Software think tanks, Linux-Aktivaattori, along with financial support from Hostway, HP, IBM, Linux Magazine, Movial, Nokia, O'Reilly, Progeny, SLX-Debian-Labs, Ubuntu and Univention. For further information about DebConf, including registration for participants, please see http://www.debconf.org/debconf5/ About Debian Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system, developed by nearly one thousand world-wide volunteers collaborating via the Internet. Debian's dedication to Free Software, its non-profit nature, and its open development model makes it unique among GNU/Linux distributions. The Debian project's key strengths are its volunteer base, its dedication to the Debian Social Contract, and its commitment to provide the best operating system possible. http://www.debian.org/ About Linux-Aktivaattori Linux-Aktivaattori is a non-profit organization promoting the use of Linux in corporate, governmental and individual environments.
