  • Good working spaces and alternatives inside campus.
  • The campus is connected to the national Internet Exchange by a low latency 10Gbit/s link.
  • The campus offers wide network coverage with wired and WiFi connectivity.

  • There is a wide variety of food options inside and around campus including international gastronomy.
  • There are many options in accommodations around the campus with different levels of service and price.
  • All rooms are equipped with a video projector and the main hall (300 seats) also has a sound system.
  • Lisbon is served by an International airport with connections to all continents.
  • The venue is centrally located in Lisbon, 15 minutes away from the airport by subway (9/10 stations away).

Commitments

Jose M Calhariz

My dream is to have a DebConf in Portugal at my University. I will do whatever is needed to have a smooth DebConf in Lisbon.

Rui Branco

Gathering dispersed knowledge on Open Source Software namely on Debian and concentrate in efficient and collaborative teams is one of my insights for wanting this Debconf in Portugal. First to get the global community to know this beautiful country and second to take the local (country) community "...Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before"... aiming to "Debian where to now ....(future)"

Pedro Ribeiro

Being a long time Debian user, and open-source software supporter, I would be most happy to help bring DebConf to Portugal.

Ana Fragoso

Will be part of a collaborative teamwork with the ability to multitask in an English-speaking environment. I feel perfectly at home liaising the accommodation, conference dinner, special rooms, catering and keeping close contact with the venue’s management. My goal in participating is to help make Debian 2021 happen in a welcome and multicultural environment for all.

Diana Rodrigues

I will be working with Ana Fragoso and will be assisting with all work needed with the accommodation, conference dinner and catering, as well as any facilities management. Will also be able to give the Treasurer any backup necessary.
