• DebConf24 registration and Call for Papers (CfP) are open!

    From Gunnar Wolf@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 22 17:30:01 2024
    Hello,

    It is that time of year again: The time of year where you brush up the
    topics you have been working on for Debian, and decide what do you
    want to share with our global family!

    As you are most probably aware, we will be celebrating DebConf in
    Busan, South Korea, between July 28 and August 4 this year; before it,
    we will have our usual DebCamp, between July 20 and 27.

    Several issues have introduced delays this year. We wanted to open registrations quite earlier, but we can finally announce that...

    REGISTRATION IS OPEN

    CALL FOR PAPERS IS OPEN

    Everybody that wants to attend DebConf24 should register in the
    DebConf24 website¹, by clicking on "Register" in the profile section
    (or in the main page's body):

    ¹ https://debconf24.debconf.org/

    If you want to submit a talk or activity proposal, you need to
    first register as an attendee, then you will be able to submit your
    proposals.

    As always, basic registration for DebConf is free of charge for
    attendees. If you are attending the conference in a professional
    capacity or as a representative of your company, we kindly ask that
    you consider registering in one of our paid categories² to help cover
    the costs of organizing the conference and to support subsidizing
    other community members.

    ² https://debconf24.debconf.org/about/registration/

    Please keep in mind we encourage eligible individuals to apply for a
    diversity bursary. Travel, food, and accommodation bursaries are
    available. More details can be found on the bursary info page³.

    ³ https://debconf24.debconf.org/about/bursaries/

    We know the following dates are somewhat rushed, and apologize for
    that. Please keep in mind the following dates (further details
    available⁴):

    https://debconf24.debconf.org/schedule/important-dates/

    - 2024.05.01: Contacting the visa team in case the country issuing
    your passport requires a visa to enter South Korea

    - 2024.05.08: Last date to apply for a bursary (to request Debian to
    cover your travel, accomodation or food costs)

    - 2024.06.07: Last day to register with guaranteed "swag"

    If your company, university or organization is interested, DebConf24
    will also be very happy to accept it as a sponsor! Please contact the
    DebConf Sponsors team <sponsors@debconf.org> or, for further
    information, visit our "Become a Sponsor" page⁵.
