From DebConf7
DebConf7, 17–23 June 2007
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.
