[edit] Why?
Cheese is good for you. Wine also helps. This C&W is the 15th official DebConf Cheese and Wine party. The first C&W was improvised in Helsinki during DebConf 5, in the so-called "French" room.
Cheese and Wine parties are now a tradition for DebConf. The event is very simple: bring good stuff from your country, preferably edible. Grapes and lactose are both optional: we like cheese and wine, but we love the surprising stuff that people bring from all around the world. Even if you don't bring anything, feel free to participate: our priorities are our users and free cheese.
Some bits from previous C&W:
- C&W9, DebConf13, Vaumarcus, Switzerland, August 12th 2013
- C&W10, DebConf14, Portland, USA, August 25th 2014 (Look at IMG_1925.JPG up to IMG_2025.JPG)

[edit] FAQ
Can I participate to C&W (AKA eat and drink) if I couldn't bring anything?
A: Sure you can. No cheese control at entrance (however, see notes below). No "secret cheese cabal" checklist. But you can certainly find something to bring. No cheese? Maybe some nice bottle of <insert favourite $beverage here>. Or some nice thing to eat from your place. Whatever.
I couldn't bring anything from $HOME but would like to participate. Is there a way to do so?
A: You can help us! C&W helpers meetings will be indicated on this page and announced on debconf-announce.
I brought XXX and don't know where to store it
A: TBD. There will be a fridge on-site. (Unknown fact: Andrew Lee needs to check that out)
I forgot what is it that I brought !
A: We'll try to track back what it is that you brought with you.
Anything I should do when bringing goods?
A: Please make sure it is labelled, either from its packaging or by a readable note from you.
