Accepted Talks:
Meet the Technical Committee
What does the Technical Committee do? How can it work better for Debian? This year, we will do a short recap of our activities last year, but the main focus we want to give to this BoF is how to best move forward and reshape the Technical Committee in a way that works better, and thus is more useful for Debian.
Clojure Packaging Team BoF
Let’s gather the Debian Clojure community so we can find more maintainers, discuss Clojure policy, prioritize applications to be introduced into Debian, and talk about open ITPs for Clojure packages. ehashman will provide an introduction to Clojure packaging structure and policy if requested.
Leadership in Debian BoF/Panel
In this session, we will host a panel of people who hold (or who have held) leadership positions within Debian.
We’ll go through a few questions for the panel and then continue with open questions and discussion.
