As a person who went to Debconf 10, there are non-technical events like:
the 'debian' wine and cheese party, group outing (we went to Coney Island
beach), a visit to a church that used linux to run its 'pipe organ', some folks
took part in local running/marathon events near Central Park, local bar hopping
and, of course, 'Mao' (a debian card game). :)
Some talks were also not highly technical. So there is much fun to be had by
all who come.
