[Debconf-team] RFC: Call for sprints
Hi,
The draft below is the tentative call for sprints to be send
in the next days. Any comments?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call For Sprints during DebCamp and DebConf
Would you team like to have a sprint but organizing it is too much hassle?
Are you looking for more people to join your project but you don't know how to
reach them?
The DebConf organization team is happy to announce that this August in Heidelberg,
Germany, we are going to be hosting sprints for different teams and projects
inside Debian, and yours can be one of them. The logistics for room, food and
stay are already solved, you just have to come up with the sprint topic, tasks
and goals.
DebCamp will take place few days before DebConf (August 10th to 14th), and is
particularly suitable for sprints held by existing teams, that want to benefit
from being able to work all together on a common goal and try to achieve that
during those days. It can also be a great opportunity for other interested people
to become involved with a new team or project.
DebConf itself (August 15th to August 22nd) will be filled with talks and other
activities, but there can also be space there for sprints that would benefit
from having the larger Debian community at hand, being a point of entry for new
team members, and a great way to get results from occasional contributors.
If you or your team are interested in hosting a sprint, please start by
creating a wiki page that includes the topic, tasks and goals of the sprint,
the expected duration (one day? three days?), and a space for prospective
participants to sign up. Then send the sprint proposal to debconf-discuss@
The content team will help with the shaping of the proposals, as well as with
the coordination of spaces, dates, and participants. Please, do it before
April 30th.
Please take into account that the space is limited, so sprints will be scheduled
on a first-come first-served basis. Participation in the sprints will serve as
a "DebCamp workplan" for those that request food and accommodation sponsorship
at the time of their DebConf registration.
Looking forward to hearing about your sprints!
The DebConf Content team.
