Hi dpkg Developers-- Are you interested in seeing a robust discussion at debconf about trends and tools in debian packaging? i was hoping one of you might be interested (or know someone who is interested) in coordinating a track for debconf 10 this summer about packaging tools and practices in the project. Tracks are a new idea for debconf as of DC10. A track would thematically group a consecutive set of debconf events (talks, panels, etc) to encourage a better understanding of a broader theme. For this to work, we'd like a knowledgable person about a given theme to act as a track coordinator. A coordinator would have a chance to set the tone and scope for the track, schedule events, assemble panels or debates, introduce speakers, and report back at the end of debconf to the larger gathering. We also hope that a coordinator could identify potential good work being done in their area, encourage people to submit relevant events for debconf, and shepherd talks in their track through the submission process. Are you interested in coordinating a track on packaging tools and trends in debian? Or do you have a suggestion for someone else who might do a good job on it? You can reach me and other members of the talks team privately at talks@debconf.org, or feel free to contact the whole debconf team (publicly) at debconf-team@lists.debconf.org if you'd like to help out. Looking forward to dc10 with everyone who can make it, --dkg
