Debian Conference

Add article description


DebConf, the Debian developers conference is the yearly conference where developers of the Debian operating system meet to discuss further development of the system.

DebConf T-shirts from conferences 3 through 12.

Besides the scheduled workshops and talks, Debian developers take the opportunity to hack on the Debian system in a more informal setting. This has been institutionalised by introducing the DebCamp in the Oslo DebConf in 2003: a room is set aside and computing infrastructure provided.
