DebConf10
The Debian-NYC team was successful in getting the bid for DebConf10, in 2010, for New York City. Our planning is occurring via the DebConf wiki. We are eager for volunteers of all types, whether Debian-affiliated already or not. See the DebConf wiki page for details. There is a separate (but heavily overlapping) DebConf10 mailing list and IRC channel.
Debian Workshops
In order to build a community, we occasionally hold workshops for the NYC area. The vary from things for total beginners, to users of Debian, to advanced topics. Check /Workshops below for information, or go to /Workshops/2 for the upcoming workshop.
Visiting NYC
As part of our plan to take over the world, we encourage visitors to come by so that we can share knowledge, stories, and fun. If you'll be around the area, let us know by mail or IRC (above). We can arrange social events or keysignings while you are here.
Travel / Accommodations
There is a lot of information on our DebConf10 wiki page or our bid page. Also, just ask us via IRC.
Hostels/Hotels:
Hostelling International, Upper West Side
NY Loft Hostel, Williamsburg
- NYC Hostels or Broadway Hotel and Hostel (Upper west side)
Airports:
- LGA most convenient for domestic flights
- JFK and EWR (Newark) are about equally convenient for getting to the city, but from JFK it is possible to save more money by taking a longer path.
