MiniDebConf 2021 Regensburg Registration / Call For Prensentations ==================================================================
As annonced earlier, we are planing to hold MiniDebConf Regensburg 2021 on Oct 2nd/3rd 2021 and with a preceeding MiniDebCamp from September 29th to October 1st. It will cover topics for Debian users, contributors and developers. For more information about the conference, see https://minidebconf-rbg.debian.net/ If you're planing to come to Regensburg but have not registered yet, please head over to https://minidebconf-rbg.debian.net/Registration and add your name to the list or email us at info(at)minidebconf-rbg.debian.net until latest September 3rd. We know that in this difficult pandemic times it is not easy to ask you to register for an event, especially as it is still uncertain that the event can take place. However, it is very important for the planning of the MiniDebConf: We might have to cancel and postpone the MiniDebCamp and/or MiniDebConf if the interest in the event is too low. Talks wanted - Call for Presentations (CfP) =========================================== We accept talk proposoals until September 3rd. Send your proposals to info(at)minidebconf-rbg.debian.net We are aiming for talks which are related to Debian or Free Software in general. Regular sessions may either be 20 or 45 minutes long (including time for questions), other kinds of sessions (like workshops, BoF, lightning talks) could have different durations. Please choose the most suitable duration for your event and explain any special requests. Also let us know if you have scheduling conflicts (e.g you're leaving a day early). Suggested topics include: * Debian usability * Cloud and containers * Security * Packaging * Automating with Debian * Debian social * New technologies & infrastructure This list is not exhaustive, and anything not listed here is welcome, as long as it's somehow related to Debian or Free Software in general. If in doubt, propose a talk and we'll give feedback. The intention is that talks are held in English but if you don't feel comfortable giving a talk in English, please let us know. Please include a short title, suitable for a compact schedule, and an engaging description of the event. Please provide us with information such as additional speakers, scheduling restrictions, or any special requirements we should consider for your event. The sessions will be recorded on video and these recordings will be released under a suitable free licence. Sprints welcome =============== The place is ideal for sprints; so we encourage teams to assemble and gather in Regensburg! The Pandemic Situation ====================== As there is progress in vaccination, in combination with a hygienic and testing concept, we believe that the conference can take place this autumn in Regensburg. If the situation is worsening towards autumn we might be forced to either limit the number of people allowed on-site or if it becomes prohibitive to hold an on-site conference, even postpone the conference again. Especially if you are planning to come abroad, consider that there might still be travel restrictions in place, mostly for non-EU countries. To see if you are affected, the RKI has a list on [rki], there is an interactive map on [eu], but also check with your local authorities if there are restrictions e.g on your way back.
