Frequently Asked Questions about Debconf 20
Will the Coronavirus Cancel the Conference?
We simply don't know yet. As of March 2020, Israel has forbidden all non-nationals from entering Israel, and all nationals returning must enter 14 days of self-quarantine. The entire country is, as of March 17th, more or less under curfew. It is obvious that, as it stands, it is not certain whether the conference can take place. Bear in mind, however, that the conference is still five months away, and the situation is rapidly evolving.
The planning committee has not yet made any decision, and is working, for the time being, under the assumption that the conference will take place as originally planned.
When Will Final Decision be Made?
The deadline for postponing the conference is at the beginning of June.
