[Debconf-discuss] DebConf file sharing via debconf-share git-annex repository
The debconf-share git-annex repository that was (briefly) made available last DebConf is ready for use for sharing conference-related materials. http://annex.debconf.org/debconf-share/README This is a way to share our personal media (photos (including raws), videos, etc) and other files (talk slides, documents, GPS tracks, etc) related to DebConf with other attendees and the public, and ensure that it's all preserved in one place.

[Debconf-discuss] [Announce] debconf-share git-annex repository
As I mentioned in a lightning talk, we have set up annex.debconf.org, which is a git-annex repository everyone can use to share our personal media (photos (including raws), videos, etc) and other files related to DebConf (talk slides, documents, 3d printed Polito designs, GPS tracks, etc). (It also incorporates official talk videos for easy access. So you can easily download talks the talks you want..) This was set up over less than one day, so don't expect it to be perfect yet (and file bugs!). But it works! Here's an example: joey@gnu:~ git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/debconf-share joey@gnu:~ cd debconf-share joey@gnu:~/debconf-share ./setup.sh joey@gnu:~/debconf-share mkdir -p DebConf13/photos/joeyh joey@gnu:~/debconf-share cp ~/sunrise_panorama.jpg debconf13/photos/joeyh joey@gnu:~/debconf-share git annex add joey@gnu:~/debconf-share git annex copy --auto --to incoming joey@gnu:~/debconf-share git annex sync That caused the file to be automatically published on the web: http://annex.debconf.org/debconf-share/debconf13/photos/joeyh/sunrise_panorama.jpg ... but also be a git annex get away from anyone with a clone of this repository. So now's a great time to put your DebConf stuff into debconf-share! Please limit uploads to things that are legal, respectful of others, comply with DebConf policy, and that it's appropriate to share with the world. We have some disk space in the backend storage at annex.debconf.org .. but not infinite amounts. (Currently 40 gb, and this can be easily grown when needed.) Thanks to Ganneff for setting that up.

YMMV, but from the pictures I see the $10 universal adapter that I picked up at Radio Shack 15 years ago and has not failed me so far anywhere will once again succeed in Swizerland. You just need a standard European plug without too much mass around the 2 prongs to reach into the Swiss socket.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Information about accommodation at le camp (photos and plans) ·
Remember that most of the happy people shown here were enjoying DebConf accomidations that consisted of the floor of a gymnasium and whatever sleeping gear they'd packed. http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/pics/debconf3 The attendees rated this accomidation as 9% bad, 67% good, and 24% very good. http://debconf3.debconf.org/questionnaire.html I know that the average age of a DD has increased since then, but not as much as my own age has increased.. and I'd happily do it again. I still consider that one of the better DebConfs. DebConf seems more likely to keep happening if the community of attendees is able to be flexible about these things, and find ways to accomidate one-another's needs, rather than requiring a perfectly organised hotel every time. Since I'll likely be in camping mode anyway, I do hope that some place near Le Camp can be found where we can set up tents. -- see shy jo, who does draw a personal line at the disgusting Cowgate hostel ... never again ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

During the talk I ran the installation as a demonstration, and I suspect I would not have tried to do this if I had not done a d-i installation before DebConf3. But my memory is flaky, so I just wanted to ask if anyone remember when d-i actually was able to install Debian for the first time. d-i was being used to install Skolelinux, at least as a proof of concept, a little before Debconf, but not to install Debian as far as I know.

Unless there's new information[2], discussing it again would not be useful. However, caff does something clever: It encodes a particular viewpoint on the best way to do things on the signing side into a somewhat[1] easy to use program, thus encouraging even people who are not convinced that it is the best way, to do things that way. This thread has shown that it somewhat hides the cost by pushing it onto the person who receives the caff mails. I think there's a broader lesson in there about arguing persuasively through code. -- see shy jo, channelling aj [1] Less easy in my experience when one has more than one active key (N) and is signing others with more than one key (M), that each have more than one email address (E), as the number of questions caff asks scales badly, O(N * M * E).
