Accepted Talks:
Stay home ... and contribute to Debian Med
Starting with the official Covid-19 hackathon the Debian Med project received a lot of new contributions. We have new contributors, increased effort of bug fixing and autopkgtest writing, increased support by other teams in Debian like ftpmaster, new communication channels (weekly video conference) and a broader attention in the world of bioinformatics. All in all the Covid-19 “crisis” gave the Debian Med project a huge push forward. As reported on MiniDebConf Online the energy that was put into the Debian Med project by several new and old contributors was reduced a bit after the sprint but the activity inside the Debian Med project is way higher than before the Covid-19 outbreak. This talk will contain more detailed numbers about this activity and the effect Covid-19 had on the Debian Med team.
Debian Med BoF
As on every DebConf the members of the Debian Med team will meet to discuss future development. There will be a short introduction into Debian Med for newcomers.
Debconf from different perspectives
Bárbara Fernandes and Andreas Tille met each other on DebConf19 in Curitiba. Bárbara was new to DebConf while Andreas joined many DebConfs starting with DebConf 0. In this dialog we want to discuss about motivations, expectations and outcomes from different perspectives specifically enlightening technical as well as possibly even more importantly social aspects of DebConf. The dialog might be interesting for other DebConf newcomers as well as DebConf organisation to possibly make DebConf even more attractive for newcomers and potential contributors.
Debian Science BoF
Informal meeting of Debian Science members. Agenda is being updated during the preparation time.
