Open Day
The Open Day (20 July) is targeted at the general public. Events of interest to a wider audience will be offered, ranging from topics specific to Debian to the greater Free Software community and maker movement.
The event is a perfect opportunity for interested users to meet our community, for us to broaden our community, and for our sponsors to increase their visibility.
Less purely technical than main conference schedule, the events on Open Day will cover a large range of topics from social and cultural issues to workshops and introductions to Debian.
If you are interested in presenting at the open day, please read our Call For Participation, and submit your proposal. We also welcome suggestions of potential speakers to invite, please e-mail content@debconf.org.
As with rest of DebConf, attendance is free of charge. Although the Open Day is fairly relaxed, registration in advance is essential.
