It's clear that it'll most likely be either English or Finnish, or a mix. Ideally, we would decide based on the language skills of the actual participants, but I think it is safe to assume English. > > 2.

Should we have two trails during Debian Day, a lightly technical one and a non-technical one? > 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 Creative Commons has expressed interest. The details are open, but if their schedule permits it, they will participate. EFFI is likely to be interested as well, but they haven't had enough time to respond yet. So these can more or less be considered half-confirmed. > Do you PR guys can start with that?

It will be hard enough to get anyone not attending the conference to come to Debian Day, let alone go through a registration process. Sorry guys, but based on what I've seen so far I don't think the organizer team is capable of pulling that off. No offense intended to anyone. > So, next steps: > > - Collect abstracts > - finalize the schedule Abstracts for Debian Day? That is not likely to happen with the local speakers. I suggest we agree on a one-line topic with the speakers. As I see it, Debian Day is supposed to be a broad event to which more or less any computer user can come. The conference itself is another thing. Do we have different views on the audience for Debian Day? It seems that some assume the participants will be quite technical, while others (in particular the PR team) have seen a very broad audience with both technical and non-technical people. -- Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>
