Frequently Asked Questions about Debconf 20

Will the Coronavirus Cancel the Conference?

We don't know yet. As of March 2020, Israel has forbidden all non-nationals from entering, and all nationals returning must enter 14 days of self-quarantine, as well as prohibiting mass gatherings. It is obvious that, under those conditions, the conference cannot move forward. Bear in mind, however, that the conference is still five months away. Five months ago the virus was a rumor about a city nobody knew in China. As such, the planning committee has not yet made any decision, and planning for the conference continues, at this point in time, under the assumption that the conference will take place as usual.

When Will Final Decision be Made?

The deadline for postponing the conference is at the beginning of June.
