I think it is a great proposal and that permanent table with a sign have
to exist in every DebConf. It is really a nice idea Thomas,

This reminds me of an idea I had in the past.
Why not set up a "ask me anything, anytime" table with a big sign. So
all people (esp. people new to debconf) are welcome to ask
people at this table knowing that they do no disturb anyone.

I often find it hard to go to people if they are working on their
computer and ask them, because I might disturb them.

This may be a permanent table, or we might set up this table for some
"office hours".

That sounds wonderful! I will share dancing workshops of Salsa, Bachata
and Kizomba the whole week with them :D Just joking. I can participate
since Sunday July 10th with workshops and explanations about the Debian
Project, Reproducible Builds, Debian on Mobile and Debian Academy.
Please register my name Jonathan Bustillos for such activities for
anyone interested,

Regards!
Jathan

Nice idea, if you want help, ping me, I will be happy if  I am able to 
help.
I think it would be a nice idea to have an organized presentation 
somewhere with collected material. Just so we know where it's better to 
start and what not to forget to mention.




If you do it after Wednesday (that's when I arrive), then maybe my kids 
will be interested. I can translate (in real time) to them what you say, 
if you think that works.

for the Debian events in Hamburg Gregor proposed and organized daily standup
meetings at a *regular* time (15:00 localtime) where everyone (who wanted)
very briefly (in 15s-60s usually) said their name and what they were working
on or where they needed help or wanted to give help... those were really cool
and I expect this would also work well for DebCamps. :)

Very nice that it will happen and a very nice idea.
I am willing and glad if I can help with this.

I am happy to give random explanations.

I will not commit to more formal workshops, however.

If not too late, I could add "FRIENDLY GEEK, ASK ME ANYTHING" - but
looking now I cannot find where to edit the badge text.

(also, at the badge preview the back side info is still for Debconf19).

Enkelena, I will be present (hopefully) during the DebCamp.
I am ready to help people install Debian, if they wish.

If there are interested people, I can also organize a basic course on Linux
Commands, based on this: https://ocw.fs.al/course/view.php?id=23

Enkelenah,

Some of us have an idea of a Debian bootcamp during DebCamp. I was supposed to 
propose it earlier, but could not do it. I will do it today. But I'm not sure I 
when I can make it to DebCamp (wrt visa situation).

DebCamp activities

[Enkelena Haxhiu]

Hi,



During DebCamp we may have people not involved in Debian who want to attend
and get to know the community.



There might be students and people eager to learn, so my question is if
people are open to give random explanations or maybe some ad-hoc short
workshops on demand?



Would be great to know actual names we could talk to when you arrive. So
feel free to reply here.



Ideas how to implement such a thing are very welcome.



Regards,

Enkelena
