    Dear Debianites,

    We are happy to announce miniDebConf Montreal 2020! The event will take
    place in Montreal, at Concordia University's John Molson School of
    Business from August 6th to August 9th 2020. Anybody interested in
    Debian development is welcome.

    Following the announcement of the DebConf20 location, our desire to
    participate became incompatible with our commitment toward the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign launched by Palestinian civil
    society in 2005. Hence, many active Montreal-based Debian developpers,
    along with a number of other Debian developpers, have decided not to
    travel to Israel in August 2020 for DebConf20.

    Nevertheless, recognizing the importance of DebConf for the health of
    both the developper community and the project as a whole, we decided to organize a miniDebConf just prior to DebConf20 in the hope that fellow developpers who may have otherwise skipped DebConf entirely this year
    might join us instead. Fellow developpers who decide to travel to both
    events are of course most welcome.

    # Registration is open

    We'll accept registrations until July 25th, but don't wait too much
    before making your travel plans! Finding reasonnable accommodation in
    Montreal during the summer can be hard if you don't make plans in advanc
    e.
