Upcoming Events
DebConf20 registration is now open (with caveats)
DebConf20 is scheduled to take place August 23-29 in Haifa, Israel with DebCamp running August 16-22. While there is hope that an in-person meeting will be possible, it is not certain. "We need to know, assuming health regulations permit it, how many people intend to attend. This year probably more than ever before, prompt registration is very important to us." There is a survey seeking further input on whether or not DebConf should be canceled.
Events: May 28, 2020 to July 27, 2020
