Coordinating a track on Media and Art and Debian at debconf 10?

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Hi IOhannes, Paul, and interested folk on the debian multimedia
packaging team,

Are you interested in seeing lively discussion at debconf about
multimedia and arts and debian?  Some of you have already submitted
events or talks, and we wanted to know if any of you would be interested
in coordinating a track for debconf 10 this summer about the work going
on in this area.

Tracks are a new idea for debconf as of DC10.  A track would
thematically group a consecutive set of debconf events (talks, panels,
etc) to encourage a better understanding of a broader theme.  For this
to work, we'd like a knowledgable person about a given theme to act as
a track coordinator.

A coordinator would have a chance to set the tone and scope for the
track, schedule events, assemble panels or debates, introduce
speakers, and report back at the end of debconf to the larger
gathering.  We also hope that a coordinator could identify potential
good work being done in their area, encourage people to submit
relevant events for debconf, and shepherd talks in their track through
the submission process.

So, are you interested in coordinating a track on media and art and
debian for DC10?  Or do you have a suggestion for someone else who might
do a good job on it?  You can reach me and other members of the talks
team privately at talks at debconf.org, or feel free to contact the whole
debconf team (publicly) at debconf-team at lists.debconf.org.

Thanks for considering, and hope to see you all at debconf 10,

   --dkg
