Come and meet the Debian Community Team - hear what we do, ask us questions, discuss how to live in the world of Debian

Networking BoF

Blink and you missed it: Debian grew a Networking Team and we invite you to join and discuss our future direction.

Team: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/NetworkingTeam

Networking is a critical piece in any contemporary Operating System with an enormous surface area. It brings into intimate contact large bodies of code, countless technical decisions encoded within and people identifying strongly with all of it.

The Debian project’s overarching uncoordinated do-ocracy is ill-suited to endure this friction without igniting conflicts in this area.

We want to improve the situation by creating a place for friendly consensus to build inside the project so that come release time’s crunch Debian’s users aren’t the ones feeling the heat🔥.

The agenda for this inaugural session includes:

  • Sustainable maintenance of our Networking Stacks
  • Testing & QA of Network components
  • Technical improvements in: DNS handling, Multihoming, VRFs, IPv6 and VPN Security.

Full agenda: https://pad.riseup.net/p/gFV8pU15gNbjrEtvVBJm-keep

Keywords: ifupdown, dhcpcd-base, ifupdown-ng, NetworkManager, systemd-networkd, systemd-resolved, resolvconf, openresolv.

Writing newcomer enthusiasm to disk, not >/dev/null — Welcome Team BoF

Debian needs new contributors! Desperately. They give us fresh perspectives, jolts of raw energy and enthusiasm that few established members of the community can match.

Yet any large organization is bound to have dark corners for newcomers to get lost in when taking their first steps in our circles and we’re no different. A tragic waste of scarce volunteer energy.

Let’s get together to discuss ways to pave and illuminate the path for newcomers through Debian’s jungle of unwritten social convention, policy and process.
