Debian Developers’ Workshop â€" Program Details Saturday April 8, 2006 2:00pm-6:00pm at the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (http://www.iiitb.ac.in) http://www.iiitb.ac.in%29

The Debian Developers’ Workshop is planned as a get together of those who are either contributing to the Debian Project as developers or in the path to contributing to this project. The objective of the workshop is facilitating face-to-face interaction among developers and therefore substantial time is allocated to hands-on work. During this time, you can show the problems you are facing and potentially seek help from others or demonstrate your work and generate feedback and more participation. Several links are added to the DebianIndia Yahoo! group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DebianIndia/ to support your preparation to participate. This event is planned to be in the workshop format, meaning all participants will present their work and interest in the Debian Project. Limit the presentation plus demo plus Q&A to about 15 minutes per package. The presentations are expected to follow the broad template as follows: 1. What is the scope of the work? 2. Packages (if applicable), sub-projects (e.g., Debian.IN) 3. Sharing your progress and experience. 4. Challenges, hurdles. 5. Support required.

Please load your presentations at the “Files” section in the DebianIndia group before the workshop.

Key-signing: The two Debian Developers, Ganesan Rajagopal and Ramakrishnan M. have agreed to participate and support key signing.
