Hi list, We are a group of people that, after an initial idea from Joerg Jaspert, want to organize a mini-debconf in Berlin for LinuxTag 2010. We are not members of Debian directly but come from Skolelinux, sidux or are just strongly related to Debian.
LinuxTag Berlin is held on June 09 - 12 this year. We plan for a 2 day conference on June 10/11. So far we have done first preparations like talking to Messe Berlin (the location where LinuxTag is held) to see what kind of rooms we can rent. Now, before trying to raise money and move on with setting this up we would like to have some feedback, ideas, help and intent for participation from you. Would such a conference draw any of you to LT/Berlin that would not visit the convention anyways? With the Freeze for Debian 6 drawing closer a BSP would probably be a good idea? We need some help to make this happen. A lot of things have to be done, for example: * setting up a programm with talks and lectures * finding helpers for the video team * raising money from sponsors and/or other ressources * setting up a pentabarf to keep things tidy * ...and everything we might have missed at this point What other things may be of interest for such a conference? Given that the feedback makes us believe its worth the effort we will establish a wiki page. An IRC channel was set up on OFTC #debian-miniconf-berlin. We also have local meetings in Berlin (dates are in the channel topic) where everyone is welcome to join that lives here or is in town. So, what do you think?
