By now, we should have conquered the hearts, minds, and bandwidths of Debian contributors all over the world. Traditionally, this is the right spot to present some statistics, give us all a final group hug. See you next year!

Welcome to DebConf20! Feel at home, grab a drink and snacks, and feel welcome to join us in the largest auditorium we have ever had in the world. We sincerely hope you are not jetlagged and that the facilities are conveniently located. We will make our best effort for you to feel home. Along with all the usual chores, doing the dishes, taking care of the kids, and so on. This session will... Well, basically serve the social purpose of saying "hello and welcome", and kickstarting our exciting week of online activities. We know that it's not the DebConf we usually have every year, but we are striving to provide the closest possible experience to it!

Many of us started work in Free Software from a position of indifference, if not outright hostility, to the challenges and rewards of "management", whatever that is. For better or worse this indifference doesn't usually last long, as any project involving more than one person soon discovers that it's not just about cranking out code, but about dealing with conflict, motivating volunteers, and balancing differing goals and priorities. This session will be for sharing best practices, lessons learned, and asking questions. Whether you are the Debian project leader, or coordinating with one other developer on a project with 3 users, this BoF welcomes your ideas and your questions.

Good-bye to Cape Town!

DebConf16 tried wafer, a different Conference management system. Did it work out OK for us? Do we keep going down this road? What big issues would we want to address in it? See also: The [wafer upstream development BoF](/talks/30/)

DebConf16 tried wafer, a different Conference management system. What mistakes did we make in trying to support DebConf on wafer. Do we want to re-architect things? What are the next steps? This is not intended to be a discussion about whether we want to keep using wafer or something else. That's a [separate BoF](/talks/31/) for a broader audience.
