Dear Alex, I don't think it would cause any problems if you were to film parts of the conference. In accordance with our Code of Conduct [1], we only ask that you get the explicit permission of the people you will be filming before doing so. Since you are working on covering surveillance and privacy issues, I'm sure you and your team are aware that some people rightfully do not want to be filmed at anytime.
Is your goal to film scenes of the conference or to interview specific people? If so, we could help you contact the people you wish to talk to in advance. As for media passes, please note that DebConf attendance is free for everyone, though if you plan to be at the conference for more than a day, we require you to register at the front desk and get a badge. If you wish, you can also buy meal vouchers there. Do you already have specific days in mind? We will likely inform our attendees beforehand that you will be on-site for these days. Yours, -- Louis-Philippe Véronneau for the DebConf17 orga team [1] https://debconf.org/codeofconduct.shtml On 2017-07-18 10:52, Alexandre Sheldon wrote: > Hi DebConf team, > > I am a documentary filmmaker presently producing a project on the > Montreal hacker community and on surveillance/privacy issues in Canada. > We are in the last stretches of the production but would love to cover > part of DebConf for the movie.
