Andy, I do believe at the end of the day, the highest priority goals
of Debian Day is to increase awareness of Debian and Free Software
among the local populace. However, I think that they are all very
important goals. Feel free to take a look at the previous Debian Day
schedules to get a better idea:
Past Debian Day presentation schedules:
http://debconf5.debconf.org/about/debianday.html
http://es.debconf.org/debianday/schedule/ (Debconf6 debian day)
https://debconf7.debconf.org/wiki/DebianDay
http://debconf8.debconf.org/debianday.xhtml.en
http://debconf9.debconf.org/openday.xhtml
Please note, I do believe the local team has a significant amount of
discretion to tailor Debian Day to meet the needs of the local
populace. (Whether that be language, technical level, or interests).
Can somebody please confirm?
-Brian
