Folks,
Michael Meskes and I organised a workshop in February where we
discussed with businesses about the role of Debian and OSS in the
context of cloud services and spying etc.. This was well received
and we've been planning to repeat the offering just before
DebConf15. I've mentioned this numerous times in the past, but now
we've finally made a move.
As this is a workshop geared to employees of local businesses with
probably lesser experience with Debian and OSS, we decided to
provide it in German only.
All of the organisation is independent of DebConf15 (i.e. finances
are separate, we've booked a room with the hostel, etc.), but we're
obviously hoping to advertise this in the context of DebConf15.
We also strongly believe that this would be beneficial to
DebConf15's public reception. Furthermore, even though it's
a non-profit endeavour, we do expect to have a little surplus that
we'll gladly donate to DebConf15.
I've put up a webpage on
http://debconf15.debconf.org/workshop.xhtml, but before we go live
with this, I wanted to give you a chance to speak up. We can also
organise this completely independently and put the information on
a different server, but we think this would be a lost chance.
Cheers,
--
