I've attached to this message a Press note about a Free Software
Conference that is going to take place next week at Manresa. While the
Conference is not Debian specific it has ended up having a lot of
Debian related talks and events:
- Thursday mornig we will have a Custom Distributions session with two
talks; one given by Ian Murdock about Progeny's Componentized Linux
and another one introducing the Custom Debian Distributions concept,
given by myself.
- Thursday afternoon there will be a Workshop about Free Software
Translation that will be given by Jordi Mallach, a well known Debian
Developer and very active member of a lot of Catalan L10N teams.
- Saturday morning there will be a Debian session with two talks; one
about Debian GNU/k*BSD given by Guillem Jover and Robert Millan and
another one titled 'Debian, the community driven distribution'
given by Martin Michlmayr, our current DPL.
Greetings,
Sergio.

=================================== III Jornades de Programari Lliure =================================== -------------------------------------------- 7-10 de juliol de 2004, Campus Manresa UPC -------------------------------------------- The third edition of the Free Software Conference (http://jornadespl.upc.es/) at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) will take place from the 7th to the 10th of July at Manresa (Catalonia, Spain). The Comissioner of Technologies and Communications of the Catalan Autonomous Goverment (La Generalitat de Catalunya), Oriol Ferran, will attend the inaugural round table on free software and public administration, moderated by the well-known journalist Vicent Partal. Ian Murdock and Martin Michlmayr, founder and current leader of the Debian project respectively, will also attend this edition which will pay special attention to this distribution. A Debian catalan developers meeting will take place during the Conference. Almost 20 presentations will let us know what is being done around free software at a local and a global level. Besides the presentations and the round tables, we have significantly increased the number of workshops in this edition. The offer includes, among other topics, different tools of development, multimedia with free software (GIMP, Blender, audio), scientific tools, and wireless. It is necessary to fill a registration from (registration is free) to attend the workshops. The same is valid for the conference itself. Other activities to emphasize are: the lecture on OpenMosix by charge of David Santos, the special session about legislation of copyright and patents, and the tutorial on KDE by Antonio Larrosa, a distinguished developer of the project. The special session on social movements will give us the opportunity to know a series of social movements that use the free software as a basic working tool. Free Software companies will also be present at this Conference, where we will see sessions by about IBM, Sun, Novell-SuSE-Ximian and HP to explain their projects. This intense program of activities will be completed with an exhibition of historical computer material and a Career Projects Competition related with the free software... and some last minute surprises!
