Hi everyone, the FSFE is planning a session on the 34th Chaos Communication Congress about Free operating systems that are not based on Linux. We want to promote "free software diversity" and would love have someone introduce Debian GNU/kFreeBSD and/or to the audience. We are also inviting the BSDs, OpenSolaris/IllumOS...
The session will be part of the unofficial program and will likely be held in the large assembly space of the more political organisations. Last year we have had community sessions with over a hundred people so it is an opportunity to present your project to an interested crowd. More details on the session in general can be found here: https://blog.3rik.cc/2017/10/call-for-sessions-at-the-fsfe-assembly-during-34c3/ The person presenting doesn't in anyway have to represent the project, but it would be good if they were able to answer questions on it! Format of the short talk: * max. 10min talk/presentation + 5min Q+A * one slide about yourself and your role in / experience with the project * one slide with quick facts of your project (since when? how many developers? size of community, commercial users? License? frequency of updates ...) * then pick some things that are specific to your OS or that you think are interesting * doesn't have to be a complete overview, it's ok to cover some highlights and some differences to other OSs, especially Linux * you can also demonstrate something practical, e.g. how easy it is to configure your operating system's firewall compared to iptables. Is anyone that you know going to 34c3 that would like to do this? Please feel free to forward this to other people... And please get back to me ASAP if you want to volunteer! Thank you and best regards, Hannes (German team of the FSFE)
