[Debian-in-workers] Debian Developers' Workshop - Program Details

[S. Nagarajan]

*Debian Developers' Workshop – Program Details*

Saturday April 8, 2006 2:00pm-6:00pm

at the *International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore* (
http://www.iiitb.ac.in)



The Debian Developers' Workshop is planned as a get together of those who
are either contributing to the Debian Project as developers or in the path
to contributing to this project.

The objective of the workshop is facilitating face-to-face interaction among
developers and therefore substantial time is allocated to hands-on
work.  During
this time, you can show the problems you are facing and potentially seek
help from others or demonstrate your work and generate feedback and more
participation.    Several links are added to the DebianIndia Yahoo! group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DebianIndia/ to support your preparation to
participate.

This event is planned to be in the workshop format, meaning all participants
will present their work and interest in the Debian Project.  *Limit the
presentation plus demo plus Q&A to about 15 minutes* per package.  The
presentations are expected to follow the broad template as follows:

   1. What is the scope of the work?
   2. Packages (if applicable), sub-projects (e.g., Debian.IN)
   3. Sharing your progress and experience.
   4. Challenges, hurdles.
   5. Support required.

*Please load your presentations at the "Files" section in the DebianIndia
group before the workshop*.



*Key-signing*:  The two Debian Developers, Ganesan Rajagopal and
Ramakrishnan M. have agreed to participate and support key signing.  If you
are interested to make use of this opportunity for key signing, please
contact them expressing your interest *in advance* with the following
details of yours by e-mail (Name, contact details, GPG key ID and
fingerprint.)  You are expected to bring *two photo IDs identifying
yourself.*  Please bring the originals and hand over a copy to the developer
with whom you are interacting.

This workshop is not a training or tutorial program.  If you are not working
with Debian as a developer in the project (http://www.debian.org/devel/) nor
are interested to grow into one, you are unlikely to benefit from
participating in the workshop.



*Registration*:  Please visit the DebianIndia group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DebianIndia/ and respond to the poll about
your participation.  There is no registration fee.
