<br />
We need some volunteers to help out with the Debian MiniConf. I would like to have a planning meet (lets call it Debian Conclave, well if you could find a cooler name just suggest) were we will have sessions to introduce Debian to the newbies, Guide them start using and cointributing to Debian, how can you become a Debian Developer (DD) ? what is cool about being a DD? How can you help in making Debian reach to the Indian masses who don't know English ( Debian localisation) ...<br />
<br />
So we don't want it to be like the last event were we welcomed everyone, we would be happy to talk to only interested ones this time. So if you are in any of these categories you can join in<br />
<br />
- Would like to know more about Debian - the universal Operating system<br />
* want to contribute<br />
* want to make debian in Indian languages available to the masses<br />
<br />
- Or you would like to help out with the Debian Developers Conference 06.<br />
<br />
So if you would like to host such an event let us know. Also tell us who can co-ordinate this. I would suggest the coming weekend (that will give us some time before foss.in). Also let me know who is interested to co-ordinate such an event there.<br />
<br />
A classroom should be enough, but a seminar hall with a project will be good. Other Debian enthusiasts will also be coming.<br />
<br />
Also we can discuss about the projects after the event.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to a positive response.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
Praveen<br />
<br />
PS: If you are interested in Kannada language computing let me know.<br />

How can you help in making Debian reach to the Indian masses who don't know English ( Debian localisation) ...<br />
<br />
So we don't want it to be like the last event were we welcomed everyone, we would be happy to talk to only interested ones this time. So if you are in any of these categories you can join in<br />
<br />
- Would like to know more about Debian - the universal Operating system<br />
* want to contribute<br />
* want to make debian in Indian languages available to the masses<br />
<br />
- Or you would like to help out with the Debian Developers Conference 06.<br />
<br />
So if you would like to host such an event let us know. Also tell us who can co-ordinate this. I would suggest the coming weekend (that will give us some time before foss.in). Also let me know who is interested to co-ordinate such an event there.<br />
<br />
A classroom should be enough, but a seminar hall with a project will be good. Other Debian enthusiasts will also be coming.<br />
<br />
Also we can discuss about the projects after the event.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to a positive response.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

We need some volunteers to help out with the Debian MiniConf. I would like to have a planning meet (lets call it Debian Conclave, well if you could find a cooler name just suggest) were we will have sessions to introduce Debian to the newbies, Guide them start using and cointributing to Debian, how can you become a Debian Developer (DD) ? what is cool about being a DD? How can you help in making Debian reach to the Indian masses who don't know English ( Debian localisation) ...<br />
