Debconf

: For the Debian configuration management system, see debconf (software package) (a package which is included in all of their distributions).

Debconf is the yearly conference where developers of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system meet to discuss issues around the further development of the system.

Besides the formal Conference with scheduled workshops and talks, Debian developers have always also taken this opportunity to Hack (technology slang) on the Debian system in a more informal setting. This has been institutionalised by introducing the Debcamp in the Oslo Debconf in 2003: a room was set aside and computing infrastructure provided.

Locations of past and future Debconf events:

There is another, smaller Debian event called Miniconf, which is held annually at the Australian Linux Conference, Linux.conf.au.
