Hi all, The IEEE sent the attached mail to the press team. They are organising OSSCOM (International Conference on Open Source Software Computing) in September 2015 in the city of Amman, Jordan. The conference has links to higher education institutions[2] so I've CCed debian-edu folks. Their Systems Software track specifically mentions Debian so I hope the DPL or another travel-willing Debian speaker[3] (BCCed) would be willing to represent Debian at the conference. This is a great opportunity to connect Debian to countries in the middle-east so I hope someone is willing to attend. If anyone is interested, please take a look at the call for papers (attached or [4]).
