Re: Debian-NP@Debconf Miniconf Update and CFP

All,
The Fourth Annual Debian Conference (Debconf) is happening between the 28th May and 2nd June
and the Fifth International Free Software Forum (FISL) between 2nd and the 5th June.Specific
details need confirming but fitting around these two events will be a Debian-NP mini-conference.
So far chatting on IRC has identified some relevant areas which could be discussed or developed.These
are:

CUSTOMISING DEBIANS
This could consist of building a custom livecd or simply using or installing Debian-NP/Morphix. We might
be able to set up something  specific for NP organizations. There are a few ideas
on the wiki (wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianNonProfit) that could be used or extended for use with the livecd.

...this opens up a talk about

CUSTOM DEBIANS AS A FOCAL POINT FOR COOPERATION AND CREATIVITY
The core of the talk is showing how Custom Debians does tricks with externalities.When you work on a
custom debian, you improve free software,and thus generate positive externalities. These externalities won't
get lost, however, because a custom Debian is a Debian; so Debian collects all these externalities from
all the Custom Debians.All these collected externalities, will then undergo creative networking effects
inside Debian, bringing advances that the Custom Debians alone would not have done .And since a Custom
Debian is 100% Debian,improvements in Debian are also improvements in the Custom Debian.
This means that Debian-NP acts like a point of entry for cooperation and creativity which talks very
much to to the Non Profit world.

DEBIAN-NP IN BRAZIL
Focussing on the political and cultural climate surrounding FLOSS in Brazil this talk outlines the
potentials and the obstacles for Debian-NP use in Brazil.


NGO REALITIES...HOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO REALLY HELP PEOPLE'S LIVES
Metareciclagem is a concept about developing and using social technology aimed at [ações em rede - networked
action? net action? action in network? :( ]. In the last year and a half we've been
developing new ways to use technology to foster collaboration, alternate economic cycles
and to strengthen local culture and integrate it in an interconnected world.

FREE SOFTWARE USE AMONG ORGANISATIONS WORKING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
This includes case studies and relevant examples with a global perspective

We have a 'small' limited budget available for this as a couple of organisations have offered to
help out financially,so we should be able to help get valuable people to the event.
Something which would be very useful for people unable to attend would be to try to web cast some of it .
We have been offered the use of a Debian server at muda.radiolivre.org as a broadcast point and if anyone would like to

mirror this it would help out.
I will re-post to the list with the confirmed timetable and list of facilitators but until then more info is available

Gente,

Debconf acontecer no 28 Maio - 2 Junho e FISL no 2 Junho - 5 Junho.Coisas especifico precisar verificar
mas com certeza temos o conferência Debian-NP.
Depois de bate-papo em IRC gente queria falar sobre :


OFICINA SOBRE DESENVOLVIMENTO A DEBIAN-NP
Como fazer um live-cd.Eu quero alguma coisa para gente que trabalho sem lucrativo.Temos pensamentos no wiki
(wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianNonProfit) e talvez pode escolher fazer estas coisas

....depois tem apresentar

CUSTOM DEBIANS TAO ENCONTRAS POR CREATIVIDADE E COOPERACAO
O fonte de apresentacao é coisas da fora.Quando você trabalho com Debian fazer coisas da fora.Todos as
coisas na fora estar coletivo para Debian e fazer ações em rede e depois fazemos
coisas muito melhorar.Desde que Custom Debian é 100% Debian,melhorar em Debian é melhorar em Custom Debians.
Então Debian-NP é um lugar encontras por creatividade e cooperação e falar a pessoal sem lucrativo


DEBIAN-NP EM BRASIL
Coisas sobre a situação polìtico e cultura circundante FLOSS em Brasil.Como e o potential e obstacles por
Debian-NP em Brasil


ONG REALIDADE...COMO FAZER TECNOLOGIA QUE ADJUDAR PESSOAL
Metareciclagem e um coisa sobre [ações em rede - networked action? net action? action in
network? :( ].Um ano depois desenvolvimento novo modopor tecnologia que fazer cooperação, novo modo
economia e que fazer bairros muito forte e depois dar rede mundo.

SOFTWARE LIVRE PELO ONG
Com o perspetiva global

Temos um 'pouco' financeiro e pode ajudar pessoal que encontrar-se com.As coisa bom que fazer
o 'web-cast' por pessoal que não vem.Pode usar o servidor Debian em muda.radiolivre.org mas se
outro gente quero adjudar e 'mirror' será bom.
eu mandar mais uma e-mail pra a liste quando o horário e certo.Mais info aqui:

abraços
Ian
