Let's have the Local Teams BoF in person!

Lightning Talks!

DebConf will shortly be over, so we shall console ourselves with (notional) cheese and wine. Bring your own cheese, we'll provide the company.

This session will provide an update on work that has been going on since last DebConf to set up a better infrastructure to support Debian local groups, and a chance to discuss future directions. Likely topics for discussion: - News from local groups - How to start a Debian local group in your area - How the Local Groups team can help encourage local events post-pandemic - Ideas for online events - Distributing Debian swag

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!

Cheese. Wine. Chez soi.

Lightning remains real, and we've got the talks to prove it!

Someone else's slides. Your talk. Hijinks ensue. This is a series of lightning talks based on someone else's previously-unseen slides, on topics not necessarily related to Debian.

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!

Lightning Talks! They're short, they're possibly sweet, they're a veritable variety pack of topics in a short amount of time!

Want to show off your project? Need a little longer than a lightning talk but not as long as a whole session? Have we got an event for you! Live demo slots are 10 minutes each.

Do you like to sing? We do, and we would like to sing together some nice choral music. Everybody is welcome, even if you (think you) are not good at singing. We will have some easy music and you might discover that it is not that hard after all, but very enjoyable. Don't be shy, even if you have never read music or sang. We will try to have fun together, and we need your help. :-)

Once again, lightning talks return to DebConf!

Show off your project here!

As a companion piece to the Lightning Talks, I'm also offering Live Demos again this year. This proposal is a placeholder, and I'll expand the abstract for maximal usefulness closer to the time.

For Those Who Care About Lightning... As usual, I'm more than happy to host the lightning talk sessions, and therefore am sticking this proposal in so that it's hopefully got a space. I'll make the abstract more useful to attendees closer to the conf.

Show off your project! NB: It will be mandatory to set up your laptop before the session, in order to assure a smooth transition between speakers.

They're talks. They go like lightning.
