DebConf24 in 2024 was being planned to happen in Haifa, Israel. You can read this message sent by The DebConf Committee.

DebConf24 to be held in Busan, South Korea

https://lists.debian.org/debconf-announce/2023/12/msg00000.html

The DebConf commitee met in a videoconference call today, December 14th, 2023, with the goal of making a decision regarding the organization of DebConf24. As you might remember, DebConf24 was originally set to take place in Haifa, Israel, but that was made impossible by the current state of affairs in the region. We made a call for replacement bids for DebConf24, and got 4 candidates:

After discussing pros and cons of each bid individually, the committee unanimously decided in favor of holding DebConf24 in Busan, South Korea, as that was the most well-prepared bid. We think we will have a wonderful time in Busan, and that it will be a great DebConf.

For transparency, you will find at end the full, unedited notes taken during the meeting.

      • tumbleweed: estimated costs for venue and food is pretty low: (60K USD)
      • tumbleweed: venue: everything in the same place
    • cons
      • terceiro: 2 DCs in a row on the same general region of the world
      • gwolf: weird restrictions in student restaurants (no vegan options, dining rooms split by gender); we would need to find alternative catering facilities
      • tumbleweed: more large talk rooms would be in another building
      • tumbleweed: Typhoon Season!
  • Portugal
    • pros
      • tumbleweed: bernelle has done this before
      • indiebio: strong team
      • nattie: in Western Europe; easy to reach from closest airports
      • terceiro: nice small university town
      • gwolf: stable weather
    • cons
      • several people: missing details in the bid
      • indiebio: would be easier for DC25 due to $reasons
  • UK
    • pros
      • gwolf: close to a large center of population of Debian people

      • gwolf: team members have been involved in DebConf people, they know what they are doing

      • nattie: English-speaking location
      • in Western Europe(ish)
      • tumbleweed: comercial venue, should be easier for us
    • cons
      • tumbleweed: extra efforts for non-UK citizens, visa-wise
      • indiebio: last minute organization
      • nattie: bidding for the sake of there being an option (stopgap bid)

      • tumbleweed: looks like it's going to be a very expensive DebConf

  • France
    • pros

      • indiebio: venue does very good research :)

      • nattie: strong local team with DebConf experience

      • nattie: centrally located in Europe
      • gwolf: interesting, attractive place
    • cons
      • terceiro: last minute bid, too much uncertainty
      • tumbleweed: it seems like at this point we would need negotiation before we can ensure enough accomodation
        • alternative would be in the city, then we would need buses
        • nattie: accomodation situation would be much improved in 25 as they are doing renovations in 24
      • nattie: not especially quick/easy to reach by public transport
  • Decision on DC24
