Dear Debianites,

Are you ready to share what you have been working on for Debian at
this year's DebConf? It is time to start preparing the topics
and decide what do you want to share with our global family!

This year, we are gathering in Brest, France, for DebCamp between July
7 and 13, followed by DebConf between July 14 and 20.

We know you have been waiting for this moment. So we are excited to
finally announce that...

DEBCONF 25 REGISTRATION IS OPEN

CALL FOR PROPOSALS IS OPEN

Everybody who wants to attend DebConf 25 should register in the
DebConf 25 website¹, by clicking on "Register" in your profile section
(or in the main page of the website):

register as an attendee, and then you will be able to submit your
proposals. You can find more information about the Call for Proposals

Also, DebCamp provides an excellent opportunity to gather with other
Debian fellows and collaborate on on-going projects or find solutions
to existing needs. Don't hesitate to share your Sprint ideas, using
the following wiki page³:

As always, basic registration for DebConf is free of charge for
attendees. If you are attending the conference in a professional
capacity or as a representative of your company, we kindly ask you to
consider registering in one of our paid categories⁴ to help cover the
costs of organizing the conference and to support subsidizing other
community members.

for a diversity bursary. Travel, food, and accommodation bursaries are available. More details can be found on the bursary info page⁵.
