DebConf is the Debian Project's developer conference. In addition to a full schedule of technical, social and policy talks, DebConf provides an opportunity for developers, contributors and other interested people to meet in person and work together more closely. It has taken place annually since 2000 in locations as varied as Canada, Finland and Mexico.

Previous Debian Conferences have featured speakers from around the world. They have also been extremely beneficial for developing key Debian software components, including the new Debian Installer, and for improving Debian's internationalization.

Fundraising


A fundraising event (also called a fundraiser) is an event or campaign whose primary purpose is to raise money for a cause, charity or non-profit organization. Events are used to increase visibility and support for an organization as well as raising funds. Fundraising is an essential part of DebConf planning. The Fundraising team has a predefined workflow to flow, of which is not restricted to the following:

  1. General resources b. Initial contact c. Follow-up d. Finalizing the deal e. At the end of the conference f. Updating the sponsor-table

General Resources

It's at this stage that you request and make available all the resources you will be needing for the fundraising. The resources include but are not limited to the following -

  1. Request access to the mailing list, which has list for the sponsor and budget handling team for DebConf.

  2. Join the Git repository by sending an email to sponsors@debconf.org, with your Alioth info.

  3. Request Tracker (RT) are optional to use, it is where all emails to sponsors go first before it ti sent to the mailing list (also send an email to sponsors@debconf.org if you choose to use it).

  4. The next very important step here is to get your sponsor's file ready. Below is a sample of what a sponsor's file should look like

Format: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/sponsors-list-format-2.0

Note: From the sample file above, only Format, Name, and Status are required, all other fields can be left out of the file. Also before contacting a sponsor, make sure to contact first the person who's written the last log entry, this person is currently responsible for the potential sponsor. Sponsors names are also not to be mentioned publicly until they have committed.
