Re: DebConf 21 Incident Response

With DebConf a few months away, we wanted to talk with you about incident response procedures, code of conduct enforcement, and how we can help DebConf be great. Cheers, Molly Sounds a good idea, at Libreplanet we did have their Safe Space Policy as well as the GNU Kind communication guidelines. For room monitoring I did 2 x 2hour shifts over the weekend, so Saturday on mumble and Sunday on IRC, so mostly keeping an eye on the conversation, ensuring it stays reasonably on topic. These shift patterns worked really well for me at least, of course out side of that I would de-op and hang out in the rooms. but at the same time still be in the rooms, quite a few things that I responded to were technical questions or directing people to the right channel. Should we schedule one of the planning meetings for this? or at least to perhaps arrange a specific meeting to go through in more details. Next IRC meeting is Monday at 18:00 utc (19:00 UK Time) For the most part the codes of conduct are already written, it is just a case of making people aware and how we report concerns.

Re: DebConf21 online, DebConf22 in Kosovo, DebConf23 in India, DebConf24 in Israel
On the other hand, if the mission of the conference is promoting Debian around the globe, with carbon emissions, pandemia, etc. we should also consider a more fragmented conference, localized in different areas/continents. Maybe it would make sense to run all those piled up DebConfs the same year? (Maybe this is tad late now, after the announcement) Disclaimer - These are no strong opinions, just some food for thought. Have a nice day, This has come up on other lists too, not specific to Debian but conferences in general. We now have the infrastructure to meet up virtually (Big blue button, Jitsi, irc, matrix, et al) there is also local infrastructure to meet on a very local level too. Doing things virtually also makes this accessible to more people who can't travel, perhaps many of our younger developers who can't just simply jump on a plane but are environmentally conscious. Before we shut down in the UK, I as running a code club and a local tech event, there is no reason why the same building can't host similar events and connect with other groups elsewhere in the country. So I think decentralising could work Paul -- Paul Sutton, Cert Cont Sci (Open) https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/ LibrePlanet 2021 - March 20th & 21st - https://libreplanet.org/2021/ Pronoun : him/his/he

It's meeting new and old friends, sharing a meal and discussing life, the universe and everything. It's learning a little bit about the local area and the culture, typically mostly during the daytrip and the evenings. It's not the pure information transfer during talks. For me, it is also just setting aside the time (as you mention). When at debconf, the rest of the world is confined to the small screen, and its ability to require my attention is smaller. When at home, it's the opposite, and it's easy for something to come up that one needs to do. I don't really think this is fixable. ^^^ *all of this*! Thanks, Tollef. I agree with this, I can probably say the same thing about events such as code clubs, while small scale, physically being in the same room and having conversations is important and productive. I had a really interesting conversation at Seagl in one of the Jit.si rooms, had nothing to directly with Linux or free software it was mostly to do with his projects to build a gas monitoring for wood burners. We just kept an eye on the time and broke off to attend which ever talks came up that were of interest.

call for proposals page
Hi Just noticed that the call for proposals page is not opened yet. It suggests 'check back around new year'. It is now May, so maybe this should be updated. Otherwise it may imply new year which if people now interpret as Jan 2022, and that Debconf is cancelled for 2021. Which it isn't of course as it is going ahead virtually. Are call for proposals open yet ? https://debconf21.debconf.org/cfp/ Paul -- Paul Sutton, Cert Cont Sci (Open) https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/ OpenPGP : 4350 91C4 C8FB 681B 23A6 7944 8EA9 1B51 E27E 3D99 Pronoun : him/his/he OpenPGP_0x8EA91B51E27E3D99.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
