Re: [Debconf-team] [Debconf10-localteam] Defining the purpose of outreach during Debian Day
Thanks for showing me the agendas from earlier Debian Days.
Before I comment further on Debian Days...Could somone put me in touch
with someone who helped do the Extremadura Debian deployment (Rafael
Martín Espada, Dario Rapisardi, Pedro Pérez, etc.) so I can ask them a
bunch of detailed questions? This is for a paper and a Debconf
presentation I'm doing about getting free software into government
agencies.
Regarding Debian Days: the agendas were all very rich, and many of the
talks looked like they'd be good for other conference tracks too
(especially after the first couple talks). I'm sure we can put together
a great day of talks by asking people doing talks at the conference to
adapt talks to an audience with less Debian background.
So for me the question is what happens outside the talks. I suspect that
visitors won't want to just go to one talk after another all day. Do you
usually have desks with advisors set up to help visitors get involved,
and perhaps workstations set up where you can dazzle them with demos? I
think a key goal would be to have them leave with a sense of personal
connection to us a Debian people and to the Debian project.
