Hoi. I'm not sleeping at the location but in my car. After two days, it would be great to take a shower. Is there someone who would let me use the shower in his room?

[Debconf-discuss] Crowdfunding for Free Software Bof (14:00, Wien)
I've added another ad-hoc meeting to the noticeboard by the front desk Room: Wien (second floor, building A) Date: Monday 17 August Time: 14:00 Free software is not free to produce. Developers need to eat, pay for computers and electricity and even pay expenses for attending fun events like DebConf. Crowd funding on sites like Kickstarter and IndieGogo is an option many individuals and businesses are looking at. This BoF is an opportunity to discuss questions such as: - what are the options for crowdfunding? - is it OK to promote fundraising activities through communities like Debian, using resources like the mailing lists, Planet or DebConf? Should Debian actively support such initiatives and under what terms? - how to run a crowdfunding campaign? - what is the ratio of time/effort spent on promotion vs the time/effort spent on development? - have incomplete projects made it harder for people to raise funds? - are there options like escrow that could improve confidence? - are there any specific projects that you would like to see promoted in this way, even if it is not your own project? ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] Ad-Hoc Talk Announcement: A glimpse at LiMux – Maintaining lightweight office-based business applications
Tuesday 15:00, Madrid Preface The municipality of Munich runs a Debian-based free desktop system on 18.000 machines, typically called »LiMux«. When maintaining such a big amount of installations in such a heterogeneous environment, unforeseen demands come to surface. This talk gives a typical example. Questions may cover other LiMux-related topics, too. Abstract Office applications, particularly spreadsheets, are used pervasively to model and support business processes. This is promoted further by extensions and macros: office applications usually provide means to extend them programmatic. While this is fine at first, there are life cycle nightmares lurking ahead: self-baked macros provide hardly what you expect to maintain an economic life cycle, and there is a tendency to provide functionality for which office applications are not the platform of choice. When maintaining an office suite, new releases inevitably exhibit incompatibilities and deficiencies in pre-existing customer macros, and these need to be addressed. There are two radical answers: a) leave the business department with their own crap, risking that they will not accept your office service in the long run; b) take over maintenance of macros yourself. An economic strategy acts somewhere in between: try hard to minimize the number of macros in production, but maintain those actively for which no substitute is available. The talk gives an overview how the LiMux project in Munich had coped with that situation, and which tools we have developed to support maintenance. About the presenter Florian Haftmann works as IT system developer at the municipality administration of Munich (Bavaria / Germany) since 2011. On his journey through the vast fields of Open Source Systems in the city, Office macros once have stuck to his shoes and have continued to accompany him until today. -- PGP available: http://home.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/haftmann/pgp/florian_haftmann_at_informatik_tu_muenchen_de ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] Dungeons and Dragons @ DebConf - Tuesday (tomorrow) evening
Hi everyone, I'll be running a Dungeons Dragons tabletop roleplaying game session tomorrow night and welcome players. For those who haven't done this before, it's basically collaborative storytelling where every player controls an adventurer in a fantasy world, and I'll be controlling the rest of the world while keeping the game moving. Dice, rules, and character sheets will assist us in the storytelling but the experience is the primary thing. No prior knowledge necessary. Preferably let me know if you're interested so I can plan accordingly, but you can also just show up. I will be in the Athena room (3rd floor building A) beginning at 19:00 tomorrow, unless I announce a change of location here and on #debconf. We'll start by explaining how this works for people who don't already know, introducing players to their characters, and maybe creating new characters if time and motivation permit. We'll aim to start playing by 19:45-20:00. Extra details for people who already know DD: This will be 5th edition, and characters will begin at level 1. I'm still deciding which adventure to run but it will be in a reasonably typical fantasy environment, possibly the Forgotten Realms but not necessarily. I have two sets of dice, some mechanical pencils and one physical copy of the 5e Player's Handbook. More of these supplies would be welcome, as would graph paper for map drawing, but we can make do with what I have. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

For those who (like me) are addicted to swimming: The pool closeby has closed because of bad weather conditions. I have no idea what they mean and I'm seriously disappointed - I really hoped for a serious swimm in a not crowded pool.

I's suggest to behave like a chain and make sure the weakest link will not break (if you know what I mean). Since I have no idea who might join it is hard to make a decent plan right now. Timo, seemed to have a plan that sounded good but as I said it depends from the attendees a bit. I could even imagine having two cycling groups for more engaged cycling and a more relaxed one.

[Debconf-discuss] Key signing: caff vs. recommeded gpg.conf
Hi! just a heads-up: if you are using the gpg.conf file by Jacob Applebaum as recommeded in https://people.debian.org/~anibal/ksp-dc15/ksp-dc15.html, caff (at least for signing-party 1.1.x, haven't checked 2.x) won't work. The reason is that that configuration file sets the option 'with-fingerprint' in gpg.conf, which displays fingerprints for all keys. While a good idea for gnupg itself, this is a problem for caff, as it tries to figure out what your own public keys are by parsing the output of gpg and looking for lines containing fingerprints - and with the 'with-fingerprint' option, also the private keys' fingerprints will be shown in the output of gpg that caff tries to parse - and it will then complain that it couldn't import all of your own public keys (with a kind-of cryptic message) and won't even get to the signing part. So either: - temporarily remove the with-fingerprint option before using caff to sign your keys (and re-add it later) - remove the symlink of gpg.conf in .caff/gnupghome and replace it with a copy without the with-fingerprint option (I'll file a bug report later.)

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Lost+Found: Lost key for locker with the number 1
Hi Martin, my colleague found a key in the dining room yesterday. He handed it in at the hostel's reception, so you can probably get it from there (if it is the one you lost).

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Daytrip via bike: lending the bike you don't need to others, route
+++ Timo Weingärtner [2015-08-17 17:55 +0200]: Hi, there will be a bike tour on Wednesday and I decided to be the organizer. There are people who might want to join but don't have a bike here. I also know of people who have their bike here but chose another alternative for the daytrip. People of both groups: please write a private email to me so I can match offers and needs. We (me and Tess) are interested in cycling. We have mountain bikes so 53km seems a bit keen. I also thought about a route. The first idea was to cycle along the local river (Neckar), but i don't really want to see the same landscape on the way back. That is the obvious thing to do, but there are more interesting possibilities. Lord Helmchen's routes to the South of the river have one of 22km (https://www.komoot.de/tour/6290893) and one of 45km (https://www.komoot.de/tour/6166847) which are easily combinable so people can choose long or short. That might be a good plan (We might choose the short one :-).

[Debconf-discuss] Sandwiches available for grabs
Folks, there are 30 baguettes with various fillings available at the bistro for free. If you feel like a sandwich, come get one. They were freshly made on Saturday in case we'd be too many hungry mouths, have been cooled since and are tasty and fine, but whatever's not eaten today will need to be thrown out. If you're leaving today, you could also consider taking some along to give to homeless on the street (there are quite a few near the station). -- .''`. martin f. krafft madd...@debconf.org @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16: Cape Town: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16 digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/sig-policy/999bbcc4/current) ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
