DebConf11/SkillsExchange
SkillsExchange sessions are meant to be informal and should not require any preparation from the tutor. Rather the people wanting to learn something should be eager to ask, learn and try and give the tutor the comfortable feeling that their knowledge is much appreciated!
There have already been SkillsExchange sessions on former DebC{amp|onf}s: Category:SkillsExchange

Mentors/Speakers:

But for the record, I'm not a DD at the moment, but that shouldn't be an issue, I hope. I have fairly good knowledge of packaging, with and without helpers [cdbs excluded, I never touched that one], so hopefully noone would leave without learning something new ;)

[edit] Language Skill Exchange
By: everyone participating (distributed Skill Exchange)
Someone invents a list of some English phrases and everyone translate them into their own language, briefly telling something about its feature (which word is the verb, which one is the noun, ...; of course I'm not pretending this is valid for all languages: if your language is completely different from English, this is even more interesting).
For example, is the phrase to translate is "Debconf is wonderful", I'd translate in Italian as "La Debconf è fantastica", explaining that "è" is the verb "is", "fantastica" means "wonderful" (and it's feminine) and that "la" is the article, which is necessary in this case, otherwise people would understand we're talking about a person (most precisely, a girl, since "fantastica" is feminine).
I find it interesting to understand how other languages work. Of course people who speak Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are mostly welcome! :-)

- Giovanni Mascellani (Italian)
- Sami Liedes (Finnish)
- Karolina Kalic (Serbian)
