Mini-DebConf at FOSSASIA in Singapore
Welcome to the wiki page for MiniDebConf during FOSSASIA in Singapore from March 18-20 2016 at the Science Centre Singapore.
While visiting FOSDEM 2016 in Brussels, a group of people had discussions about organizing a Debian-related event during FOSSASIA in Singapore. Emails were sent to potentially interested DDs (on debian-project and debconf-team) and we set up this wiki page. We hope DDs and other Debian enthusiasts would love to join a MiniDebConf in Asia.
So, this is a wiki page to gather all information required to organize the event.
