Works for peoples who lives in Cuba?? In principle, DebConf welcomes Debian contributors, wherever they live. Because of DebConf's location in the US this year, Debian contributors in Cuba will have special challenges in getting visa approval. If you are interested in applying for a visa, you can contact visa@debconf.org to request an invitation letter. But know that an invitation letter is no guarantee of visa approval. Evidence of sustained contribution to Debian prior to applying for a visa would probably be weighed in your favor, but as others have suggested, you should contact local experts and make your own judgement about the chance of success before spending a lot of money on a visa application. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
