Sponsors wanted
We invite you to sponsor our conference at a level which fits your budget and matches your desired level of visibility in our community and in the media.
We offer several sponsorship levels, detailed on our website and we are also open to other opportunities.
MiniDebConf Hamburg 2026 is run on a non-profit basis, and all the organizers work as volunteers without compensation.
Your contribution makes it possible for us to bring together Debian contributors to work together, help and learn from each other, and forge friendships.
As our project is distributed, meeting face to face from time to time improves the remote collaboration among our contributors.
Please reach out to h01ger if you are interested.

There will be talks on saturday and sunday, see our official schedule on the website!

Standups
There will be standups. Motto: "Get to know the place (announcements and information). Get to know the people (presentations of work plans)." They will last max 30 minutes. Its purpose is to make short announcements of the day (or for the next day) but mostly to tell the other participants what people are working on individually or as a team / in a sprint. This make it possible to join others, find helpers, and in general get to know what's going on.

Nightlife, Dancing
Located in the cellar of the venue building / Victoria Kaserne there is https://www.slot-hh.org/: "SLOT is a collectively operated, non-profit space for parties and concerts, debates and exhibitions – all incoming money in turn goes out to support political/cultural projects, initiatives and struggles." Excellent DJ sets, perfect for dancing. And very reasonably priced.
And there's Centro Sociale at https://centro.wonkee.de/ which is known to offer live concert shows.
There is https://www.stubnitz.com/ (Wikipedia): Socio-cultural events on a former fishing ship in it's “Kultur.Raumschiff”: contemporary music culture and interdisciplinary, participatory and socio-cultural workshops.
