Hi, guys. I sended a message to events@debian.org but the members of Debian team the answered my letter told me that i must to send my invitation to this account.
I hope you let me resend the message that I sended to give you a whole information in few minutes (sorry for my large letters):
Message 1:
"Hi. I need to invite the Debian Team to a Free Software Event. The event
will have the participation of Richard Stallman and Jon Maddog Hall.
I will be waiting for your answer."
Message 2:
"
Topics:
The event is conceived to have different topics. There are 2 reasons for this:
* That there may be the possibility of showing the great diversity of areas where Free Software is found.
* Searching for specific topics would make it too difficult to find the speakers.
Location:
The issue of location is perhaps not one of such relevance because the event would be held under a simple format of simultaneous playback of pre-recorded videos uploaded to the YouTube channel created for the occasion. At the same time, through Jitsi or Big Blue Button, the speakers could answer questions from the audience. To do this, each speaker should connect at least during the time set for their conference.
When I spoke with Maddog, he told me that your team had used the same format in DebConf.
Date:
Regarding the date, I am waiting for Maddog to receive a response from the LPI Executive Director regarding a time when the event can be promoted to LPI staff and members. I agreed with him that from that information, the date of the event would be established.
I know that it is important for you to have accurate data, but the absence of a date for the event would allow you to prepare in advance any conference that you wish do.
In addition to the very important information you request, it is also important to have the speakers ready. Therefore, the confirmation of new conferences will contribute to the realization of the event.
Last year the event was held on September 26 and 27 (to celebrate GNU's birthday). For this year the initial goal was to cover the event with local speakers. But due to the non-compliance of many of them and the offer made by Maddog to participate, the event was postponed to a more appropriate date, also changing its initial goal to include RMS and other people to form a staff of high-level speakers. .
I hope to have your support. In any case, it has been an honor to communicate with you. You, the members of the Debian team, have contributed a lot to Free Software.

Right now, I have no more to say. I hope I have met your expectations.

"I am asking lecturers from the Debian Team to a Free Software event called GNUfest.
If Debian Team has additional ways to support, excellent.
If you have more doubts, please tell me."![]()

>Where are you from?
San Cristóbal, Venezuela.
>Where this event usually take place? City? Country?
The first edition (the unique) was celebrated in San Cristóbal, Venezuela. Would you like to see some photos?
>I know it will be online this year, but it's good to know the history of it.
The
history is very simple: Last year, I wanted to make an event to
celebrate the GNU's Birthday. The event was celebrated in september 26
and 27. That edition had lecturers from my city and also we received the
visit of a gamers of another city which made a conference about their
hobby (games). The event reached a relative success since the
organization team only had 3 people (including me) and we worked very
much.
There was many lectures in several
topics: how to get money with Free Software, Darktable, Blender,
Python + Electronics, radio, Free Software philosophy (given by me),
postgreSQL, etc.
This year I received many
positive answers from possible lecturers, but very few people made their
video. In the previous days to the initial date I wrote to Maddog Hall
asking a invitation video made for him (last year RMS made a video like
this for us). Maddog surprised me to tell me that he wanted to
participate. He sended me a bio about him and propossed me his theme. He
also told me many important suggests to reach success in the
organization. About that suggests, I must to recognize that I had many
work to have the apropriate conditions that he told me: I have to create
a team (I had work alone), create a web page and create a Facebook
account for the event (I know the Facebook is not representative by Free
Software, but I had no more idea to show to the people). I continue
working to make the GNUfest, but I want support of another people or
institutions (like debian).
The Maddog's
propposal make think that something important can be reached. If you
accepted, and other 2 people accepted, we can make a event that could be
saw in many places if the promotion is good. I am tired, but I don't
want give up. I don't want waste the opportunity to be with Maddog, RMS,
you and another people like you.
This the whole history. I hope you can support me.
>You need to specify what topic you would like someone from Debian talk about.
Ok.
Maybe you can talk about the qualities of your latest version. Maybe
you can add some historic information (Ian Murdock, the advances reached
by Debian, etc). Do you agree with a topic like this?
>
We have a lot of Debian Developers that can talk, but it will be easier
>if you tell us the topic you want.
>if you tell us the topic you want.
I understand. I
guess that I need to know some topics that you can talk about. Can you
give me a brief list of themes? Sorry for asking that, but I have no
more ideas about your possible conferences. I will consult with other
people, right? (however I am sure that you can select better options
that which I can see).
>And the best way to find a DD to talk is asking on
>debian-devel@lists.debian.org maling list.
>debian-devel@lists.debian.org maling list.
Ok. I will send a message to this account.
>But remember, if you send a email to there, be very specif what do you want.
>You can write: I need some DD to talk about...
Ok. I will follow your suggests. Thank you very much.
I will be waiting for more questions or suggestions from you.
Best regards.![]()
