Dear Init Freedom Lovers, On the fourth anniversary of the birth of Devuan, once again the Veteran Unix Admins salute you!
# Participate to the first Devuan Conference in Amsterdam! ## From Friday, April 5th through Sunday, April 7th 2019 # The power of choice The Devuan Conference 2019 is a not-for-profit event, this means that the conference fees will cover the bare cost of venue, catering, logistics and documentation materials. At this stage we accept donations and offers for sponsorship: if you like to help, contact us at <confere...@devuan.org> or make a donation using the description '**Devuan Conference**' directly to: ``` Paypal: foundat...@dyne.org ``` Or via bank wire to the IBAN below : ``` Dyne.org foundation (non-profit) Bank: ABN-AMRO - Amsterdam, The Netherlands IBAN: NL87ABNA0406496021 BIC: ABNANL2A ``` # Call for Sponsors Space at the conference is limited and we are trying to balance the amount of registration with the size of the venue and resources available. Hence registrations at this time are called mainly for **talks** and **sponsors**. In two weeks we will follow up with more information and an early bird offer for tickets. Please do consider sponsoring this event! We will work hard to give you and all the conference attendees all the visibility deserved. Send your sponsorship proposal to <confere...@devuan.org> with the word `sponsor` in the subject. If we have enough sponsors to cover all costs we'll be able to grant free entrance! # Call for Papers Devuan Conference 2019 is YOUR conference! Please share your ideas and passion. If you would you like to: - present on a Devuan-related topic, or - report on a particularly successful/unexpected/original use of Devuan, or - host a Devuan-related workshop for users or developers, or - run a Devuan-focused hacking session, or - .... Then please contact us at <confere...@devuan.org> If you like to propose a talk please send us a title, description, length in minutes and any URL or PDF via email, please also include the word '**CFP**' in the subject. # Travel and accomodation The costs for reaching and staying in Amsterdam are entirely on participants, but we hope that by releasing early this call everyone has enough time to conveniently book a place in this beautiful city and perhaps allow a couple extra days to visit it and hang out. # Live streaming and recording The conference will be a great occasion to have in-depth interviews with developers and adopters as well plenary sessions of Q&A with the public, in the hope to exchange more information about the future of Devuan. The event will be streamed live and recorded and all recordings will be freely made available online. Journalists interested to participate are welcome to contact us, we will prepare a press folder and make sure they can reach anyone they want to interview. # Contact For any further questions please feel free to contact our conference organisation committee via email at <confere...@devuan.org> we are happy to receive suggestions and wishes and requests, to make this the best possible conference for our community # Further steps Thanks for reading up to hear! if you or anyone else is interested please make sure to subscribe our devuan-announce list here: https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devuan-announce updates will follow in the coming months, meanwhile if you are sure to attend make sure to reserve your tickets and stay in Amsterdam: on 5-7 April 2019 the very first Devuan Conference is happening!
