Italian Debian Community Conference 2010 - 17th-19th September, Perugia (PG - Italy)
September 3rd, 2010
The Debian Project and the Debian Italian community are pleased to announce
that the 5th edition of the Debian Italian community conference will take place
from the 17th to the 19th of September in Perugia, Italy. For the first time,
the conference has been organized in association with the Italian Ubuntu community, joining efforts
with the traditional Italian Ubuntu Meeting. For the occasion the conference
has been renamed to Italian Debian/Ubuntu
Community Conference
(DUCC-IT '10 for short) and will focus on bringing
together both communities and improving cross-distribution collaboration.
Users, contributors, and enthusiasts of Debian, Ubuntu, and any other
Debian-based distribution are invited to attend. The event will also be an
opportunity to celebrate the annual
Software Freedom Day in Italy, which will be co-located in the city of
Perugia.
The conference will see the prominent participation of the current Debian Project Leader, Stefano Zacchiroli, and some members of both Debian-women and Ubuntu-women teams, explaining the benefits of a wider collaboration scheme, and how we encourage a more heterogeneous and balanced environment.
Scheduled events currently include some major technical tracks, aimed toward new contributors, and practical sessions on Saturday, as well as social launches, a key-signing party and a round table discussion about female participation in the Italian free software world on the other days. More information and logistical details are available on the Debian wiki, or directly on the conference website (in Italian).
