A formal document setting out the goals of DebConf can be found on the main website:

Goals of DebConf

[edit] Discussion

The goals of DebConf can be cross-referenced with the 'priority list' used in the last few DebConf venue decision processes, http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/PriorityList

One of the priorities of course helps with all the goals:

  • 2. strong, mature, experienced local team

The other priorities are listed below against each goal they help achieve:

[edit] Primary goals

[edit] Enable face-to-face interactions

  • 1. "affordable" for both sponsors and attendees
  • 5. quality and quantity of food and drink in close proximity
  • 6. suitable accommodation in close proximity
  • 8. travel logistics
  • 9. accessibility

[edit] Provide talks and video

  • 4. excellent network connectivity
  • 7. presentation facilities

[edit] Provide time to work on Debian

  • 1. "affordable" for both sponsors and attendees
  • 3. good working spaces
  • 4. excellent network connectivity

[edit] Secondary goals

[edit] Motivate contributors

  • 1. "affordable" for both sponsors and attendees
  • 4. excellent network connectivity
  • 5. quality and quantity of food and drink in close proximity
  • 6. suitable accommodation in close proximity
  • 8. travel logistics
  • 9. accessibility

The priority list points that would help motivate Debian contributors are more or less the same ones that "Enable face-to-face interactions", except that good networking discourages some face-to-face interactions but helps motivate Debian people. :) So (besides it being a secondary goal), we should manage to meet this goal quite well by working on the ones above.

[edit] Motivate the local community

None of the priority list points are directly relevant here -- but, of course, it's often hoped that the presence of a successful DebConf nearby will in itself be a major motivating factor, so again, perhaps working on the direct goals is enough here.
