Debian is a Unix-like computer operating system that is composed entirely of free software, most of which is under the GNU General Public License and packaged by a group of individuals participating in the Debian Project.
DebConf is the yearly conference where developers of the Debian operating system meet to discuss further development of the system.
Mini-DebConfs are local meetings organized by Debian project members to achieve similar objectives to those of the DebConf, but on a regional context.
Why Attend :-
A Mini-DebConf is an awesome opportunity for any user who wants to experience the magic of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Here you can meet the veterans in FOSS development, develop professional connections which will help you in future, chat with contributors who can guide you, present in front of a grand audience and most importantly, grasp the essence of FOSS development. It is indeed a ‘never miss’ opportunity that will give you a strong foundation to build on!
