[Fsuk-manchester] Debian's world wide conference 2011 - DebConf11

[Michael Dorrington]

        "Debian Conference is the annual Debian developers meeting, an event
filled with coding parties, discussions and workshops - all of them
highly technical in nature. DebConf 11 will be held in Banja Luka, in
Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 24th to 30th July 2011."

Despite it saying it's for Debian developers, you don't have to be a
Debian developer to attend. Videos from previous Debconf's are available
and might help you make you decision whether to go or not. For example,
Debconf10 and 9 are available at:
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2010/debconf10/
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2009/debconf9/

You have until Thursday, 19th May to apply for sponsored registration
but you can register much later for non-sponsored registration.

Regards,
Mike.

DebConf11 – Sponsored registration date has been extended (Posted by
nattie)

The deadline for sponsored registration for DebConf11 in Banja Luka,
originally May 8th, has officially been extended to May 19th. The
reasons for
the extension are as follows:

Thanks to a significant increase in sponsorship from one of our main
sponsors,
we have been permitted and encouraged to welcome more people to the
conference. The extension is a one-off occurrence in response to this new
development, and to allow any potential attendees time to access more
information before registering.

Registration is required for everybody who plans to attend any part of
Debconf. Access to the conference venue, food and accommodation is
controlled
through the registration badge. The only exception to the registration
requirement is for those who plan to only attend Debian Day.

It is possible to request sponsorship for food, accommodation, and travel.

Those who have been involved or contributed to Debian or to other open
source
projects are eligible to apply for sponsorship, which will be decided on a
case-by-case basis.

The professional and corporate categories are for those who are sent and
sponsored by their companies. Professional registration covers the actual
costs of conference attendance, while corporate registration is just over
double that price, and is aimed at those who, besides paying the actual
costs,
also want to contribute money and help Debian.
