Dear debianites, Party is coming. We are here to remind you : don't forget your party food! Cheese, wine and/or any other good stuff.
The first C&W was improvised in Helsinki during DebConf 5, in the so-called "French" room. Cheese and Wine parties are now a tradition for Debconf. The event is very simple: bring good stuff from your country, preferably cheese, wine and/or any other good stuff that can be drunk or eaten. Even if you don't bring anything, feel free to participate: our priorities are our users and free cheese. Vegan cheese is welcome. So here's the deal: What to Bring Bring cheese. Bring wine. Bring snacks. Bring that strange but amazing local treat your country's famous for. (Yes, non-alcoholic stuff is cool too!) Please "register" your cheese on the wiki page so that we can properly label it the day of the C&W party. We need cheese names and country of origin. https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/26/CheeseWine * For this to happen, please annotate your cheese in the wiki as such. that way you'll get readable labels too! *************** Logistics You can drop your stuff off at the Front Desk shortly before the party. Or hand it directly to the C&W team volunteers before noon on party day on July 21st. Don't forget to list it on the wiki for labeling! But Wait – Can I Bring This Into Argentina? Good question! Customs can be picky. These rules help protect local agriculture from pests and diseases - so it's best to double-check before you fly. Here's a helpful link from Argentina Customs: https://www.argentina.gob.ar/sites/default/files/05-01-24_productosprohibidosviajeros2024.pdf https://www.argentina.gob.ar/senasa/informacion-al-viajero/ingresar-o-regresar-al-pais https://www.argentina.gob.ar/noticias/control-en-fronteras-requisitos-para-ingresar-al-pais-con-jamon-espanol-o-lacteos If customs scares you - maybe you just stumble upon some weird something on your trip or even locally. Can't Bring Anything? No Problem! You don't have to bring food to enjoy the party — we're just happy you're coming. See you (and your snacks) soon! – The Cheese & Wine Team
