View source for Why

Brainstorming why we have DebConf and what DebConf should be:

DebConf has many goals, the ones with highest priority are (in descending 
order):

 * an opportunity for DDs, interested people and existing teams within Debian to get together, discuss and hack on the Debian distribution and its infrastructure  
 * educate people with talks and workshops 
 * a chance to meet face to face, socialise, form stronger and more productive social bonds and brainstorm new ideas
 * boost the motivations of individuals and work groups


Lower priority goals:

 * boost the local Debian community
 * to have some fun in RL to have more fun when hacking on the net

No goals, but nice (but "not important") by-products:

 * free food and accomodation in a nice place for DDs to give them something back to them for their continuous contributions.
