About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.

Plans For DebConf 3 Announced

Tollef Fog Heen announced plans for DebConf3 in a message to debian-devel-announce. He says:

...there will be a Debconf 3, this time again in
Europe, more exact Oslo, Norway. The University of Oslo has kindly
enough offered to host Debconf 3.

The dates Debconf 3 will take place is July 18th to 20th 2003.
Housing is not ready yet, but I am working on getting a deal with a
mid-price-to-cheap hotel and having a Youth Hostel as an option for
those who want to go even cheaper.

New this year is Debcamp, an invention of Joey Hess. Basically, it is
a few days before the conference itself starts where rooms and network
connectivity will be available, and we will have time to sit around,
discuss, hack, barbecue, go picnicing and have fun.

A preliminary website is online at http://www.debconf.org/debconf3/ ;
I will try to keep it up-to-date with regard to the status of the
conference.
