MiniDebConf 2014 Barcelona ========================== Debian Women is proud to announce that it will hold a MiniDebConf in Barcelona on 15-16 March 2014, where Debian enthusiasts from far and wide will gather to talk about the latest Debian changes and the Debian community, as well as to meet new and old friends. http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org The MiniDebConf is fast approaching, be sure to make your travel arrangements! It is going to be an exciting event, in a beautiful venue, in one of the most famous European cities! http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org/venue.shtml Schedule -------- A draft schedule (still subject to some last minute changes) is already available. The list of talks promises two days packed with great talks! https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014/Talks If you have an exciting idea for a talk, but missed the deadline, please get in touch with us, we might still have a slot for you: proposals@bcn2014.mini.debconf.org Crowd-funding ------------- We are still raising funds to cover the costs of running the conference and to offer travel sponsorship to people who can't pay for it. Please, consider donating any amount you can, everything helps! http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/427/ Sponsorship ----------- If you want to attend the conference, but are unable to cover the costs. Please contact us! We don't have a big budget, but we will make our best to help. Naturally, priority will be given to participants who have an accepted talk. About this MiniDebConf ---------------------- We want to have a MiniDebConf with both talks and social events, to which everyone in Debian is invited but where the speakers in the talks are all people who identify themselves as female. We consider this important to: * Encourage women who haven't yet given their first DebConf talk * Provide role models for women who are interested in contributing * Debunk the myth that there are not enough women who can give talks in DebConf The idea behind the conference is not to talk about women in free software, or women in Debian, but rather to make discussion about Debian subjects more inclusive for women. If you agree with this goal, spread the word. Forward this announcement and help us make this event a great success! About our sponsors ------------------ This event is possible thanks to the help provided by our generous sponsors. In particular, we'd like to thank our platinum sponsor, Google. We hope to see you in Barcelona! For more information, visit http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org -- Regards, Marga
