LinuxTag 2001 / Debian Day

[Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>]

Hi,

let's get some work done now.  For a couple of days on my todo list
was the plan to provide a "Debian Day" which target at developers and
potential further developers.  Now that I've got the final acknowledge
that we can use a room for this (for about 50 people) we can actually
start discussing what we want to do there.

My preference for the Debian Day is friday.  This "event" doesn't
target at users in general so it don't have to be on saturday.  Friday
looks good to me.

Quoting some random web page:

   We are discussing a possibility to organize a special
   Debian-oriented day at LinuxTag 2001. The target audience consists
   of people who want to know details about the Debian project or
   event plan to participate. The Debian-Day is not intended to be a
   competitor to the regular LinuxTag conference program but gives it
   additional spice for a smaller amount of people. We don't expect
   more than 100 people being interested in any single presentation.

   During LinuxTag there will be one or two workshop rooms reserved
   for the Community to organize BoFs and workshops. It should be
   possible to occupy one room for an entire day for the Debian
   project.

   The following topics are discussed, partially there is also a
   speaker proposed:

     * Debian - Managing a 700people-project, internal structures
     * Debian Package Maintenance
     * Debconf - from the beginning
     * Software Development (CVS, autoconf, make etc.)
     * dpkg-internals
       (maybe Wichert Akkerman <wichert@cistron.nl>)
     * www.debian.org - multilingual and maintained with WML
     * i18n & l10n within Debian
     * Debian GNU/Hurd
       (maybe Marcus Brinkmann, he's at LSM)
     * FAI - Fully Automated Installation
       (Thomas Lange <lange@informatik.Uni-Koeln.DE>)
     * Debian GNU in business environments
       (Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>)
     * Debian Archive Maintenance - Package Pools
       (maybe James 'The Evil' Troup)
     * Security-Hardening a Debian System
       (maybe Alexander Reelsen)
     * Quality Assurance for Debian
       (maybe Martin Michlmayr)
     * rsync /mirroring debian /rproxy
       (Goswin Brederlow)
     * read-only/reiserfs/tux2, possibilities and workability
       (Goswin Brederlow)
     * Security-hardening a Debian-System
       (Alexander Reelsen)

What do you think?  What talks will actually be possible?  How many do
we want and in which order?  We can use the room for the entire day if
we like.  LinuxTag begins at 9.00am and ends on 6.00pm.  Additionally,
Friday is the day when our Social Event will take place.  Not sure
when it starts, but I guess it's 8pm, so we could stay in the room if
we like.

Regards,

	Joey
