Hi!
Before I start my report about the Debian-Day let me please appologize
for this late mail and for not having done much till now. I was quite
busy at my university (more than usual), and kept busy by some private
problems, too, but I hope to have more time in the next weeks.
So, back to topic: Debian-Day. The curent status is, that I just made
same notes, not even filling an entire page. But I think, that can
change real soon ;)
First open question:
- What exactly is our target group?
- local students and people interested in Linux (sure)
- can be reached via Local Linux User Groups and Flyers / poster at
University Building / (technical) book stores / computer stores
(must be done by a local guy),
Would be nice, if we could get some press coverage in advance,
like a small note in the local daily newspaper, telling people
that there will be a conference, etc.
- Press
The not technical press could be more interessted in Debian-Day,
since their talks won't be that advanced than the DebConf talks
- Sponsors
Yes, some sponsors might want to see there, what they are
sponsoring :)
Some Ideas about topics that should be covered:
- A small greeting by the DPL would be nice (but I didn't had the time
to ask him, yet)
- What is this "Debian"-thingy?
- in general: An introduction about our project
- technicaly: Show why Debian GNU/Linux is a nice Distribution
- Easy installation
- Easy Administration
- done by people who use their system
- etc.
- 10 Tipps about Debian (apt-pinning, apt-list{bugs,changes} and other
usefull tools, etc.)
- Brief introduction in Free Software (after the general Debian
introduction, before the technical?)
Differences between Freeware and Freesoftware, Definiton
- HowTo Help Debian (without beeing an DD [and without beeing a realy
cool Hacker])
- and HowTo become later a DD
Well, thinking that our target audience as I understood that is not very
known to the Debian universe (or the free software universe at all),
even a simple "What to do, if you encouter a problem / HOWTO get
support" talk could be usefull.
Volunteers yet: Me (and I'm pretty sure about jaldhar, but didn't asked
him, yet. BTW: jaldhar, are you on this list?)
So we still need a lot of volunteers (or Jaldhar and me will sound quite
croaky during debconf).
One last word: It would be nice, if the Debian-Day talks could be
recorded / streamed, too. But looking at the discussion about that, it
looks quite complicate for me, so I would say, it is a "nice to have",
but not a must (allthough it could be a testbed short before the "real"
talks and the more general talks from the Debian-Day could be more
interesting to people all over the world, than the special talks during
Debconf).
So much for now. As you see, it is a quite early state of planing, and
I'm sure I forgot some points, too. Sorry again.
Yours sincerely,
Alexander
