[PLUG] [Workshop] Debian Packaging - 09th and 10th June 2018

[Dhanesh Sabane]

[Tl;DR at bottom]

Aloha!

The FOSS world is huge and everyday new ideas are born and new software 
is written. But how do these software end up on Debian? How is it made 
possible for us to just run `apt-get install foo` to install these software?

Well, the answer to these questions is packaging[1]. This workshop is 
aimed at answering questions like these, in depth, and also help 
everyone build packages for Debian. To help us all with packaging, we've 
invited a distinguished personality from the Debian Project, Pirate 
Praveen. Praveen is a Debian Developer and maintains a lot of packages 
in the Debian project. You can find out more about Praveen on his Debian 
wiki page.[2]

The workshop will be held at Reserved-bit[3]. This workshop is open to 
all and there are no registration fees. However, note that we have 
limited seating capacity at the venue. Seating arrangement will be on a 
first-come-first-serve basis. The workshop will span over two days (09th 
June and 10th June 2018), so everyone can be rest assured that all the 
points will be covered in depth.

Don't forget to bring your laptops!
