Goals
Contents |
A formal document setting out the goals of DebConf can be found on the main website:
[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.
