Andy, I do believe at the end of the day, the highest priority goals of Debian Day is to increase awareness of Debian and Free Software among the local populace. However, I think that they are all very important goals. Feel free to take a look at the previous Debian Day schedules to get a better idea: Past Debian Day presentation schedules: http://debconf5.debconf.org/about/debianday.html http://es.debconf.org/debianday/schedule/ (Debconf6 debian day) https://debconf7.debconf.org/wiki/DebianDay http://debconf8.debconf.org/debianday.xhtml.en http://debconf9.debconf.org/openday.xhtml Please note, I do believe the local team has a significant amount of discretion to tailor Debian Day to meet the needs of the local populace. (Whether that be language, technical level, or interests). Can somebody please confirm? -Brian _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
