[CC to events@debian.org as is also events-related] Hi there, a couple of day ago, I've added a new paragraph on DPN, titled "Upcoming events" in order to better promote debian-related events. The idea is to gather informations not only about big events (as, for example, FOSDEM) but also talks in Universities or LUG/Hackerspaces, workshops, bug squashing parties. This paragraph is intendend like a series of highlights on the www.debian.org/events page (which will remain the main official page about Debian related events), and the hope is to convince people to notify us their events more than now and create a sort of central archive of events which could be of interest for debian users/developers. In order to do this, at this moment I'm monitoring: * the identi.ca Debian group * lwn calendar of events * http://grical.org/ * the Debian Events category on wiki.debian.org * the debian-events-* mailing lists * the DebianBSP category on wiki.debian.org * http://fossevents.org/ * www.meetup.com/ The paragraph was written by me and Alexander Reshetov (eof) during the last summer and Paul Wise (pabs) did a l10n-english review, and David Prévot (taffit) also agreed on adding it. My idea is to add events which will happen in the next (from DPN release) ~15 days: virtually, successive events will be added in the next issue. Below the paragraph, any comment (and improvement) welcome!
