DebConf13, Proposal



Hi there!

Attached you can find the presentation for tomorrow proposal:

  <http://penta.debconf.org/dc11_schedule/events/734.en.html>
  <http://people.debian.org/~gismo/DebConf13.ch/>

Here the slides also in text form, in case someone would like to check
them and she/he does not have LibreOffice installed


1) [debian.ch fusion logo] DebConf13.ch?

   Swiss landscape picture from <http://www.myswitzerland.com/>, given
   the unknown license we could probably use a picture from Didier's at
   <http://people.debian.org/~gismo/DebConf13.ch/Didier/>.


2) Why in Switzerland?

   * a beautiful country (Alps, lakes, landscapes)
   * multicultural cities with a human touch
   * headquarters of many international entities
   * four official languages
   * second highest ratio of DDs per country
     <http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2011/06/12#devel-countries-201106-3>


3) Connectivity

   Big Internet eXchange points
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_exchange_points_by_size>
   * SwissIX: 21 Gbps, avg 9.4 Gbps
   * TIX: max 4 Gbps, avg 2 Gbps
   * CIXP: max 2 Gbps, avg 1 Gbps

   Capillary network coverage
   * Debian-friendly ISPs


4) Infrastructure

   * well-organized country (tourism, ...)
   * good and dense transportation network
   * three international airports
   * member of the Schengen area
   * established local communities (LUGs, ...)


5) Time and Place

   * universities (June)
     + in the cities, everything nearby  
     – accommodation maybe too expensive
   * in the countryside (October/November)
     + easier to organize, natural environment
     – difficult to find suitable venues


6) Local Team

   debian.ch as an established legal entity
   * prospective CoreTeam of 3-5 people
   * 10 active members involved up to now

   local volunteers from various communities
   * LUGs, universities, ...


7) Questions?

   Standard Swiss Army knife in black with the red swirl and white
   "debian" word.


Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
