Hello Everybody,DebConf 25 is coming soon [0], and we'd like to remind all Debian's core teams to consider who is going to represent your team at DebConf. In recent years, Debian's core teams have not been well represented, and we should improve on that. DebConf is one of the best times to have casual conversations with people and unblock gnarly problems.
[0]: https://debconf25.debconf.org/news/2025-03-24-dc25-registration-cfp-open/This is the first DebConf in Western Europe for many years, so we expect many more attendees to be able to attend conveniently, by train, than in recent years. If you've been waiting to come to a nearby DebConf, now is the time.
Bursaries for DebConf are available [1] if you register before April 14th. If you're active in one of the core teams, you'll alomst certainly be able to receive financial assistance to attend. If finances are a blocker for your team attending, please get in contact with the DPL, the DebConf Content Team <cont...@debconf.org> or even me, I'm sure we can make a plan.
[1]: https://debconf25.debconf.org/about/bursaries/Personally, I've found that almost every team in Debian can benefit from having a regular BoF. If it seems like nothing is happening in the team, worth talking about, even a noop BoF can be a good way to find out who is interested in joining the team and helping out. Just talking about the long-standing problems is the first step to fixing them.
Apologies for spam to all the teams listed on our project organization page [2]. I think this is a good way to ensure that all core teams are contacted, but I'm sure there's a lot of duplication.
