Hi!

> Now we are getting closer to debconf5, it's time to start organizing
> Debian Day events in earnest. So far I think we have
> 1. General Introduction to Debian
> in English (Jaldhar) and Finnish?, German? (Alexandar)
Um... I think english and finish as languages would be okay, but I don't
think there will be many people up there, who only understand german?
> 2. Introduction to Packaging (Lars)
> 3. half-day Debian and Linux Beginners tutorial (Jaldhar)
We also have:
- A "HowTo help Debian without being a Developer (and howto became
one..)" talk by me
- Gunar Wolf with a "What is free Software" talk (Aigars Mahinovs and
Andreas Tille had similar talks, all are experienced speakers, all can
do it, but I think Gunars english might the best)
- Bejamin Mako Hill "a quick overview over custom Debian distributions and Debian derivatives"
Additionaly, we might have (== is requested, but not finished, yet)
- Something local about free software and free culture:
Fabian Fagerholm is contacting finish organizations like their CC and
EFFI (similar to EFF) for something hot like software patents
- Branden Robinson doing a talk as DPL, well... I asked him, to do PR
with his title, but a) he is not yer sure, if he will arrive (but he
likes to) b) is unsure of the topic
- the spanish school debian Andreas mentioned in his last mail
So... we know our speakers (but might get more), we have a approximate
idea of the topics (save Branden).
Do you PR guys can start with that? Since all that seems left to me,
seems to be:
other open questions:
- Jaldhar beginers tutorial
- what do you need? (and can we organize it ;)
- Should / Mus we limit the number of attendees? Do we need some kind
of registration process for that?
So, next steps:
- Collect abstracts
- finalize the schedule
Yours sincerely,
Alexander
