Why should I care?

DebConf is the annual conference for Debian contributors and interested users. Previous Debian Conferences have featured speakers and attendees from around the world (DebConf11 had attendees from 46 different countries).

DebConf helps share the knowledge and experiences of individual developers with the entire community. It also helps promote enthusiasm for specialized areas of development and encourages discussions about Debian’s future.

The benefits that DebConf brings to the Debian project as a whole, and the larger Free Software community, will improve Debian —and by extension will help improve GNU/Linux for everyone, whether they use Debian (or a Debian derivative), or any other distribution.

How can I help?

DebConf is a lot to organize and pay for. We invite you to help that this is going to be a successfull event.

• Since DebConf is an event organised by volunteers, its quality strongly depends on effort from these volunteers and as such every help is appreciated. Please check the Volunteering section to obtain more information
• Without money we can not organize a Debconf. Donating is a great way to help us.
• Do you want to be one of our generous sponsors? You can get nice publicity and contribute valuably to this DebConf.

I’m the team leader of the local DebConf12 team and I’ll try to keep you updated on all the cool things that are going on right now with the organization of the thirteenth Debian developer conference that will take place in Managua, Nicaragua, from 1st to 14th of July 2012.

We need a lot of help, so if you want to contribute please check out the Jobs and Teams pages on the DebConf wiki.

Our next DebConf meeting is TBD on doodle, if you’re interested in attending, please go to the doodle poll and select the dates you are available so we can decide a date for the meeting.

Hope to see you guys around!

Los que no construyen deben destruir. – Ray Bradbury, “Fahrenheit 451″

Hace poco se quemaban libros en las plazas públicas para evitar que la gente pensara por si misma, hoy en día se cierran sitios web para evitar que los ciudadanos anónimos, los sin voz, puedan expresar libremente sus ideas y esparcir sus ideales por ese terreno fértil y subversivo que es la red.

Y no estamos hablando de China, Irán o Corea del Sur, países conocidos por ejercer la censura en Internet, esto está pasando el día de hoy, y en nuestro país, en Nicaragua.

El martes pasado un grupo de clientes insatisfechos de Claro Nicaragua, subsidiaria de la empresa mexicana de telecomunicaciones América Móvil y cuyo principal accionista es Carlos Slim Helú, el hombre más rico del mundo, decidieron unirse y abrir un portal para quejarse de los malos tratos y el pésimo servicio al cliente de la empresa Claro.

La respuesta no se hizo esperar. En menos de 36 horas Claro Nicaragua había bloqueado el acceso a sus abonados al sitio www.claroqueno.com.

Esto es grave. Claro Nicaragua no puede restringir los derechos legales y constitucionales de las personas, decidiendo arbitrariamente que es lo que pueden ver o leer sus abonados y cuales sitios visitar.

Esta acción ilegal de parte de Claro Nicaragua puede representar el comienzo de una nueva era para los ciudadanos digitales en Nicaragua. Si esta empresa, una organización privada extranjera, no tiene el menor reparo en prohibirte visitar sitios que los critican abiertamente, el día de mañana podrían comenzar a bloquear otros sitios; por presiones políticas, por conveniencia económica, o porque simplemente les dió las ganas, y nosotros, los ciudadanos de este país no vamos a poder hacer absolutamente nada.

¿Cómo podemos cambiar esto?

Comparti el enlace de www.claroqueno.com (http://bit.ly/claroqueno para los clientes de Claro) Hazte fan de Claro Que No en Facebook o seguilo en twitter.

Pero más que todo; Corre la voz! No te quedes callado! No dejemos que nos arrebaten nuestro derecho a expresarnos y a decidir con absoluta libertad. La red es nuestra!

The final dates for the 2012 Debian Conference are finally confirmed!

Original announcement: http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20111102.en.html

DebConf12 to take place in Managua, Nicaragua in July 2012

The Debian Project, the team behind the free Debian operating system, has confirmed the dates and venue for its next annual conference, DebConf12.

The conference will take place from July 8 to July 14 2012, in Managua, Nicaragua. In DebConf’s twelve-year history, this will be the first time it will be held in Central America.

Every year, DebConf allows new and existing Debian project participants from around the world to assemble, share knowledge, make collaborative contributions to Debian, and build tighter community bonds. Conference costs are largely funded by corporate sponsors who find significant value in enabling Debian’s success.

The members of the Debian community in Nicaragua, working together with their fellow communities in Central America, are very excited to be hosting this event, and are happy to welcome our colleagues from around the world to join us in Managua at this very important and productive conference says Leandro Gómez, leader of the local team for DebConf12. This conference will boost the local Debian and Free Software communities and help to bring awareness for the Debian Project, with new contributors and enthusiasts from our country and the surrounding region joining the Debian community and helping Debian to build the best operating system.

DebConf will be preceded by a day when it opens its doors to the general public, commonly called Debian Day. There will be talks and demonstrations about the benefits of Debian and Free and Open Source software in general to corporate, governmental, academic, and individual users.

The call for papers and registration will open in early 2012.

DebConf12 will be preceded by DebCamp, the yearly developer work sessions, starting on July 1.

The final calendar of the event is:

• July 1-7 2012: DebCamp, the yearly developer work sessions
• July 7 2012: Debian Day
• July 8-14 2012: DebConf12
• July 15 2012: Departure/cleanup day
