__NOTOC__
DebConf7 will take place from Sunday 17 to Saturday 23 June 2007, in
Edinburgh, Scotland.
 
DebConf is the Debian Project's developer conference.  In addition to a
full schedule of technical, social and policy talks, DebConf provides
an opportunity for developers, contributors and other interested
people to meet in person and work together more closely.  It has taken
place annually since 2000 in locations as varied as Canada, Finland
and Mexico.
 
DebConf will be preceded by DebCamp, from Sunday 10 to Friday 15 June.
DebCamp is a smaller, less formal event giving an opportunity for
group work on Debian projects.
 
On Saturday 16 June DebianDay will take place.  DebianDay is a short
conference aimed at Debian users, and others interested in learning 
more about free software.

Further announcements about paper submission and applications for
financial support will be made in the next few weeks.
