The Debian Project

Debian @ LinuxTag 2001

– July 5th - 8th, 2001 –
– Stuttgart, Germany –
We are discussing a possibility to organize a special Debian-oriented day at LinuxTag 2001. The target audience consists of people who want to know details about the Debian project or event plan to participate. The Debian-Day is not intended to be a competitor to the regular LinuxTag conference program but gives it additional spice for a smaller amount of people. We don't expect more than 100 people being interested in any single presentation.

During LinuxTag there will be one or two workshop rooms reserved for the Community to organize BoFs and workshops. It should be possible to occupy one room for an entire day for the Debian project.

The Debian-Day takes place on friday in room CCA III.
