Code of Conduct

Like any other DebConf (and a growing number of events) we have a Code of Conduct to help making this event a safe place for everyone.

We chose the DebConf Code of Conduct, itself based on the general Debian Code of Conduct.

The names of people in charge of enforcing the CoC and how to contact them will be given explicitly by email, right before the conference. There will be at least 2 people, english and french speaking, including a woman and a man, and probably a few other people to assist them.

Participants

Registration should be done with a form on the website: https://mini-debconf-fr.debian.net/2020-bordeaux

Optionally you can advertise your participation here and on the list (if you have problem to create an account, you can send instead an email to <minidebconf-orga AT france DOT debian DOT net> and we will add you).
