Debcamp comes before a DebConf. I'm here a few days _before_ DebConf but registration for DebConf is long since closed. DebConf is on a French university campus this time and they asked for registration far in advance so drop-ins are sadly not welcome. > "Registration has closed.

There is an install party planned for Friday of DebConf external to the campus in Brest. This is as part of the endof10 campaign and Debian developers will be helping newcomers to install Debian to account for the end of Win10 support later this year.. > > All the very best, as ever, > > > > Andy Cater > > amaca...@debian.org > > > All the bery best, as ever Andy Cater (amaca...@debian.org)
