Final report from DebConf 7
A report from the 7th Debian Developers' Conference, held last June in
Edinburgh, Scotland, has been posted as a 30-page PDF
file. "Over 400 people took part in this year's conference:
listening to the talks; discussing development issues; working closely with
their fellow developers. And, of course, enjoying themselves. This report
hopes to provide some insight into DebConf for those who were unable to
attend. It will cover the major parts of DebConf and provide a look at the
work of the organising team. It will also include the personal impressions
of some of the attendees." It's clear that quite a bit of time went
into the creation of this document.

Final report from DebConf 7 Posted Dec 8, 2007 21:45 UTC (Sat) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216) [Link] Um, just wondering, but who is the guy whose image was digitally pasted in up in the upper right corner of the group shot (right next to the woman with the blip of red in her hair?) I ran across it and thought it looked funny, but couldn't quite tell if it was retouched; after downloading the source code of the report, the original image shows it very clearly.

Final report from DebConf 7 Posted Dec 8, 2007 22:11 UTC (Sat) by boog (subscriber, #30882) [Link] Sound like a great conference. A couple more quotes: "My first DebConf was probably the best single week of my entire life. Yeah, it was that awesome." (David Nusinow, p14) "The Debian Tartan is yet another demonstration of what can be be achieved when you combine an, on the face of it foolish, idea with well motivated people who lack an imagination for the problems that might be involved." (Read about the design of the Debian tartan on p12).
Final report from DebConf 7 Posted Dec 9, 2007 7:29 UTC (Sun) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] I particularly liked the bit about how they went to a venue to make some music, and ended up working through the night fixing the organ! Very hacker-ish in the best sense.
