Debian Conference 2015 The annual Debian developer meeting

Open Weekend 15–16 August 2015

Please note that due to immense popularity, we may be forced to close the doors on the weekend. Please check this page, which we will update, so you can find out in advance.

The DebConf open weekend is geared towards the general public to find out more about Debian and how we work. In addition to events of interest to a wider audience, there will also be plenty of opportunity to interact, learn, and try things out.

Furthermore, some of our sponsors will present themselves with showcase booths, and we've organised a job fair for those interested in employment opportunities in the Debian ecosystem.

Programme

The complete program for Saturday and Sunday is available, with talks and discussion sessions about different Debian and Free Software topics from 10:00h to 19:00h.

On Saturday, among the scheduled talks and events, we can remark the Opening Ceremony at 10:00h, Bradley Kuhn's invited talk "Debian's Central Role in the Future of Software Freedom" at 14:00h, and the Debian 22nd Birthday Party at 21:30h.

On Sunday, we count with Bdale Garbee's invited talk "Debian and HP: A Fresh Perspective" at 10:00h, John Sullivan's "Debian and the FSF: Ending disagreements by solving problems at the source" at 11:00h, Werner Koch's "GnuPG: Past, Present and Future" at 14:00h, and Allison Randal's "Philosophy of Free Software" at 15:30h.
