Debian activity in Kosovo, MiniDebConf Prishtina, diversity

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,

I've had some recent visits to Kosovo and there are some exciting things
happening there.

Chris Lamb got there first for Software Freedom Kosova[1] 2016.

At the Digital-born Media Carnival[2], I met some students, Albiona and
Qendresa Hoti, who invited me to visit and asked me if I could provide
some support for their hackathon in Prizren.  I went there and gave a
talk at the Innovation Center Kosovo[3] in July and went back for the
hackathon[4] in August.

A MiniDebConf is now being organized for 7 October.  The Prishtina
hackerspace[6] is a possible venue but this hasn't been finally
confirmed yet.

Kosovo has also been discussed in the bug tracker recently, there is a
first Debian mirror[7] there and there is discussion about how to give
Kosovan users a better experience[8] using the Debian installer.

Like Albania[9], there are really good signs for diversity in Kosovo and
it looks like the MiniDebConf may achieve a gender ratio that hasn't
been seen before in Debian events, with the exception of those that were
exclusively organized for women.

Regards,

Daniel
