Join us at room Aula 0.2 - FICH for a ~90-minute session, during which newcomers will be offered basic instructions on topics to help them become familiar with Debian and DebConf.
Some of the topics in the menu:
- Installing and using Debian

- Encryption in Debian: how encryption is used in Debian, gpg basics, creating your first gpg key, etc.
- Communication channels: mailing lists, IRC channels, Debian Social, Matrix bridges, Debian planet, Wiki, Bits.d.o, creating your accounts.
- New contributor guidance: Getting listed in contributors.debian.org, understanding terms like DM/DD-upl/DD-non-upl and the New Member process.
- Learn how to use mentors.debian.net: getting your packages into Debian
- Managing bugs in Debian: Debian BTS and Salsa
We will hold discussion sessions based on volunteers’ interests and availability. Come along to help and/or learn! Participants are also encouraged to suggest their own topics of interest.
