What is DebConf?

Debian Conference

Debian Conference is the annual Debian developers meeting, an event filled with coding parties, discussions and workshops - all of them highly technical in nature. It was held in Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain, from July 23 to 30, 2009.

Previous Debian Conferences have featured speakers from around the world. They have also been extremely beneficial for developing key Debian software components, including the new Debian Installer, and for improving Debian's internationalization.

Debian Camp

Development teams like debian-installer and debian-edu also have the possibility of meeting beforehand for undisturbed collaborative work. However, note that only the basic necessities like bed and network connection will be provided at that time. Interested teams should contact the organizers upfront to make special arrangements. DebCamp took place from July 16th until July 23rd 2009.

Debian Open Day

Meanwhile, decision-makers interested in discovering the benefits of Free Software and Debian users were invited to attend Debian Open Day on the 24th. Debian Open Day is an open house event with presentations of general interest.
