Hi Frank, Andy and debian-edu folks-- Are you interested in seeing a healthy discussion at debconf about plans and challenges deploying debian in the broader community -- getting debian into schools, governments, community centers, etc? I'm hoping to find someone with a good perspective on this topic who might be interested in coordinating a track for debconf 10 this summer in NYC. 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 debian community outreach? 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. Thanks for considering, and i hope to see you all at debconf, -- dkg
