Speak at Mini DebConf '13 Calicut
Anyone from the Debian Community is welcome to give a talk at Mini DebConf '13 Calicut. Please submit your proposals at the FOSSMeet Funnel (Select Mini DebConf Track). Depending on the sponsorship we receive, we might be able to provide you a partial travel allowance. Contact <speakers AT fossmeet DOT in> for more details.
Bug List
For the bug squashing party, we need to identify bite sized bugs that can be easily fixed by people new to Debian. Shirish suggested that a good place to start looking for bugs is this. If you find something that can be worked on, please add it here. We can always ask for help on IRC and mailing lists for this. Volunteers needed for this task.
