In "Episode III" of our journey, we evolved our curriculum to increase the Debian project's prominence: students are no longer just learning Debian packaging in isolated workshops; they are actively contributing to Debian in the second phase of the course. This talk shares the challenges, achievements, and actionable strategies from three years of bridging academia and real-world Free Software collaboration. The audience will leave with actionable strategies to replicate our approach, including: (1) evolving a course curriculum to real Kernel Linux, Debian, and Free Software contributions; (2) assessing student success and engagement beyond code; (3) sustainable engagement strategies for educators and Free Software communities. Whether you are a professor seeking curriculum ideas, a maintainer looking to grow your contributor base, or a newcomer curious about academic pathways, this talk offers a road-tested blueprint for Free Software education.

A partir de mi experiencia como docente, administrador de sistemas certificado LPIC‑2 y usuario de Debian desde la versión Sarge 3.1, presentaré un recorrido práctico y conceptual sobre cómo el software libre transforma la forma en que aprendemos, trabajamos y habitamos la tecnología. La charla incluye una comparación clara entre software libre, código abierto y software privativo, para luego mostrar casos reales de uso en escuelas, organizaciones y entornos domésticos. El objetivo es ofrecer estrategias concretas para que Debian sea una herramienta accesible, sostenible y formativa, tanto para estudiantes como para profesionales y familias. **Estructura de la charla (50 minutos)** **1.

Es lo que hace hoy mucha gente joven que recién empieza a programar, y probablemente nadie les explicó por qué eso importa. Puede parecer que las licencias son solo la "letra chica", aburrida, que se puede ignorar. ¡Pero no! Son el mecanismo que hace libre al software libre. Sin una licencia, ese código que subiste con tanto esfuerzo, nadie debería usarlo, modificarlo ni redistribuirlo de forma legal. Y elegir la licencia más permisiva sin pensarlo tampoco es una decisión inocente: le da ventaja a quien tenga los recursos para tomar tu trabajo, cerrarlo y sacarle provecho sin devolverte nada. Quienes contribuimos en Debian, tenemos que lidiar con licencias todo el tiempo: al empaquetar software, al elegir cómo licenciar nuestro propio código, al revisar si algo cumple con las DFSG. Entender esto desde el principio te va a ahorrar dolores de cabeza y te va a ayudar a tomar decisiones con criterio propio, en vez de copiar lo que hace todo el mundo sin preguntarte por qué. En esta charla vamos a explicar, sin necesidad de ser abogados, para qué sirven realmente las licencias, por qué "sin licencia" es peor que cualquier licencia, y por qué elegir entre una licencia permisiva y una copyleft es una decisión de valores, no solo un detalle técnico. Y vamos a pensar juntos qué podemos hacer, como nueva generación de contribuidores, para que esto no se siga perdiendo.

Projects rarely fail due to technical limitations—they fail due to human burnout, poorly resolved conflicts, and relationships that break down over time. In this talk, we will discuss the soft skills that truly sustain Free Software communities and that almost never appear in the documentation: clear communication, empathy with beginners, healthy disagreement, emotional responsibility, and consistency in collaboration. The goal is to provoke reflection on the role of each contributor in the health of the project and present practical triggers that can be applied daily, regardless of technical level or experience. Because, in the end, code scales—people don't.

I'll show how these tests launch apps, check the user interface, and make sure they close properly. This way, we can be confident that Debian Live images are truly functional, not just bootable. This presentation is for QA engineers, developers, and Linux enthusiasts who want to automate manual testing. It's especially useful if you're working on desktop stability or curious about how openQA handles different environments. Attendees will learn how to write reusable test scripts for various desktops and how to spot failures that boot tests might miss. I'll also talk about how this helps improve Debian's reliability by providing a final check before release. Additionally, I will discuss my journey to joining the Debian project through my Outreachy internship (a newcomer from an underrepresented background as a woman of colour), my tasks/contributions, and their impact.

A partir de mi experiencia como docente, administrador de sistemas certificado LPIC‑2, usuario de Debian desde la versión Sarge 3.1 y divulgador en FLISoL (2022–2025), exploraré qué tan viable es Debian como plataforma de juegos en entornos domésticos, educativos y profesionales. La charla aborda compatibilidad de hardware (AMD/NVIDIA), rendimiento, soporte de anti‑cheat, empaquetado, repositorios, Flatpak, actualizaciones y el rol de Testing/Backports. También se discuten los desafíos actuales, las limitaciones estructurales y las oportunidades para mejorar la experiencia gamer dentro del proyecto Debian. El objetivo es ofrecer una visión honesta, técnica y constructiva que permita a la comunidad pensar el gaming no como un nicho, sino como un caso de uso que puede atraer nuevos usuarios y fortalecer la adopción de Debian en el hogar y en la educación.

A medida que estos sistemas se vuelven más complejos, el impacto de los errores de memoria y los problemas de concurrencia no para de crecer. Esta charla analiza cómo encaja Rust dentro del desarrollo open-source, particularmente dentro de los ecosistemas de Linux y Debian. Comenzaremos con las razones por las cuales Rust está ganando terreno. Al examinar los fallos comunes de C/C++ (invalidación de iteradores, comportamiento indefinido, falta de seguridad de hilos), mostraremos cómo el borrow checker y el sistema de tipos de Rust detectan categorías enteras de errores en tiempo de compilación. También veremos cómo Rust podría haber evitado fallos del mundo real como Heartbleed. Luego veremos quién lo está usando realmente. Rust ya está en el kernel de Linux, y organizaciones como Google, Microsoft, Canonical, Discord y Cloudflare lo utilizan en producción. Estos no son experimentos, demuestran que el lenguaje está listo para el tipo de infraestructura que mantenemos todos los días. Finalmente, hablaremos sobre cómo involucrarse. La comunidad de Rust es activa y acogedora, y compartiremos recursos para encontrar soporte, contribuir a proyectos de Rust de código abierto y conectar con otros Rustaceans.

La transición surgió de la necesidad de "rescatar" servicios críticos que funcionaban en un servidor antiguo con una versión obsoleta de Docker, sin provocar interrupciones en el servicio. Como primer paso, todo el sistema heredado fue encapsulado en un único contenedor dentro de Proxmox, preservando su funcionamiento y desacoplándolo del host original. A partir de allí, los servicios se van extrayendo y migrando progresivamente a contenedores dedicados y actualizados, permitiendo una modernización gradual y controlada. La charla está orientada a desarrolladores, administradores de sistemas y profesionales de DevOps que se sienten cómodos trabajando con Linux y contenedores, pero que buscan alternativas más simples que Kubernetes para despliegues pequeños y medianos. Se explora cómo combinar herramientas basadas en Debian para construir una infraestructura flexible, utilizando LXC para el aislamiento, Docker para el empaquetado de aplicaciones y Traefik para el enrutamiento dinámico. Los asistentes aprenderán a diseñar sistemas que permitan migraciones incrementales manteniendo los servicios disponibles de forma continua.

Operando bajo el complejo marco legal del cannabis medicinal, el proyecto demuestra cómo un stack integrado de Software Libre sobre Debian permite recuperar la soberanía digital frente al uso de hojas de cálculo fragmentadas e inseguras en la nube. Exploraremos el recorrido técnico y ético de diseñar un sistema seguro que respete la privacidad del paciente, optimizando hardware preexistente en la organización y proyectando la instalación de un servidor local dedicado sobre Debian, exclusivo para la ONG. La sesión está diseñada para desarrolladores, administradores de sistemas, entusiastas y profesionales en ciberseguridad y líderes técnicos interesados en soberanía digital y proyectos sociales de alto impacto. Los asistentes obtendrán conocimientos sobre la arquitectura de bases de datos médicas hechas a medida y la gestión de datos sensibles bajo la Ley de Protección de Datos Personales (25.326) y la Ley de Derechos del Paciente (26.529) de Argentina. También discutiremos el desafío interdisciplinario de evolucionar un modelo de software junto a las necesidades reales y cambiantes de un equipo médico en el territorio. Expondremos el trabajo de la ONG y explicaremos la arquitectura modular del sistema (escrito en Python), la implementación de funciones de seguridad avanzada y la estrategia de red para acceso remoto seguro, todo sobre Debian. Al compartir este caso de estudio, buscamos demostrar que el rigor técnico de alto nivel y el activismo social de base son una combinación poderosa para la sostenibilidad y la soberanía tecnológica de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil.

However, it depended on a new upstream version of the WebRTC Audio Processing library, which hadn’t been updated for years in the Debian archive, and would fail to build on the mips64el architecture. Being somewhat familiar with running foreign-architecture programs through emulation for ARM systems, I decided to try fixing it without knowing anything about MIPS… That mips64el architecture might be gone from the archive now, but Debian supports a great deal of different CPU architectures. So, this talk is about ways to build, run, test, investigate and fix foreign-architecture programs and packages on your ordinary AMD64 system, from an advanced beginner, with a real-life example. Maybe even mentions of other common problems that might come up, tricks and solutions you can use. But the main point is, architecture-specific bugs are not arcane magic that only wizards can comprehend. Probably.

But what if you only have a small budget, a Debian server, and curiosity? In this talk, I will show how I built a functional AI agent using mostly open technologies and low-cost services. The project combines Debian Project, Linode infrastructure, OpenRouter APIs, Telegram as the user interface, and Python as the glue connecting everything together. The session will cover practical lessons learned while deploying and maintaining the bot, including hosting considerations, API costs, open-source AI models, automation, limitations of low-budget environments, and why Debian remains an excellent platform for experimentation and self-hosting. This is not a corporate “AI strategy” presentation. It is a practical, honest, and accessible look at building useful AI systems with limited resources and open tools.

It addresses the technical and ethical challenges of modern AI, including the "Superalignment Paradox" and the risks of data dependency and post-truth. By analyzing the pros and cons of cloud versus local models (such as Gemma, QWEN, and DeepSeek), we advocate for technological sovereignty, especially within State infrastructures. The session concludes with a practical overview of tools like Ollama running on proxmox and debian with gpu passthrough technology and the current computing power in Argentina, demonstrating how local hardware and open-source software can ensure data privacy, security, and strategic independence.

In many ways, Open Source has "won." But can we celebrate that victory while so many maintainers, including many Debian Developers and Maintainers, are burning out, while users and companies keep depending on their unpaid labor? Debian knows this tension intimately. From the recurring reality of orphaned packages and MIA developers, to the xz-utils backdoor, a stark reminder of what happens when critical infrastructure rests on a single volunteer's unpaid, unsupported labor, this isn't an abstract industry problem. It's our day-to-day. In this talk, we'll take a critical look at how Open Source has been funded (or not), why many existing models like corporate sponsorship, donations, open core or paid support keep falling short, and what new paths might actually work. We'll also sit with the uncomfortable questions specific to a project like Debian: What happens when volunteer DDs and corporate-sponsored DDs work side by side on the same packages? Is it time for an Open Source tax? Would paying volunteers motivate or demotivate them, and who would decide who gets paid? This isn't just a talk about money. It's a call to rethink what sustainability really means for Debian and for Open Source at large, and how we build a future that doesn't run on burnout.

While these abstractions accelerate development, they often hide the underlying complexity of the system. This talk explores what happens when those abstractions break — and why understanding Linux internals becomes essential. This session is aimed at developers, DevOps engineers, and newcomers to Debian who want to deepen their understanding of how systems actually work. Using real-world examples from networking, process management, and resource handling, we will explore how abstraction leaks manifest in production environments. Attendees will leave with a clearer mental model of Linux systems, an appreciation for Debian’s philosophy of transparency and control, and practical insights on how to debug, reason about, and design more resilient systems by understanding what lies beneath the abstraction layers.

This trend has intensified in recent years, particularly with the introduction of the [Cyber Resilience Act](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/cyber-resilience-act), which places greater responsibilities on product manufacturers regarding the security and transparency of the software included in their products. In this context, providing accurate and complete information about the software running on a system is essential for several reasons: Licensing and copyright: Software is subject to licensing obligations and copyright regulations. Manufacturers must be able to identify the licenses that apply to the software components they distribute, as well as the corresponding copyright holders. Security: New vulnerabilities are discovered every day. Accurately identifying the exact versions of software components used in a product is critical to assessing exposure to known vulnerabilities and understanding potential security risks. An SBOM provides the structured information required to address these concerns by listing the software components included in a system along with relevant metadata such as versions, licenses, and dependencies. In this context, Debian already provides tooling to generate SBOMs, in particular [sbom toolkit](https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/sbom-toolkit) which provides a debhelper add-on and scripts to help developers to prepare such reports.

As different regulations begin to require these component inventories, transparency is mandatory. Accurate SBOMs are critical for tracking security support, managing vulnerabilities effectively and correctly track component licenses. This session provides a short update on the current state of SBOM support within Debian. As a second part of the session, we will open the floor for a BoF discussion aimed to identify gaps and how to improve the overall SBOM support.

For us, this moment has been important to be accountable for our work, especially when it involves financial support from Debian. We will talk about the activities we have done since DebConf25 (2025/2026) sush as: - The organization and the numbers of MiniDebConf Campinas 2026: https://campinas.mini.debconf.org - The work done by Brazilian Localization and Brazilian Developer Teams: how we work, what areas of work we have, how we split the tasks, how we bring new contributors. We believe that sharing our Brazilian experiencies, We will encourage other Debian communities around the world to organize their activies and bring their experiencies to future DebConfs. Together we can exchange ideas, experiencies, sucess cases, and so on. We would like to use this space to listen the audience and return to Brazil with new ideias.

The first goal is to ensure that those attending the presentation return to their cities with renewed enthusiasm to organize Debian Day with their local communities. The second objective is to report on the work we have done in Brazil in 2024 and 2025, When we created a group of local organizers to jointly request financial assistance from DPL to cover the expenses in each city. The Debian funding was used to pay for coffee breaks, cakes, produce graphic materials such as banners, flyers, stickers, etc. I will show other cities can follow this idea and request assistance from DPL. Thanks to this work, we had a record number of Brazilian cities organizing Debian Day in 2025: 15.

This linguistic barrier accelerates the cultural erasure and silencing of diverse communities. We believe free software is the only ecosystem capable of reversing this scenario, promoting true technological sovereignty and linguistic preservation. In this talk, we present the initial stages of the Jupy Project, which aims to implement native support for Native South American languages like Kaingang, Nheengatu, Guarani, and Ticuna in Linux. Using the Lux Lenovo OS (a Debian-based distro) as a practical laboratory, we will share technical localization obstacles, such as creating glibc locales, keyboard mapping, and font rendering. Our goal is to open a transparent dialogue about our main challenges: ensuring continuous maintenance and respectfully validating interfaces with the speaking communities. We invite the global Debian community to help us build architectural solutions and upstream contribution workflows that make Linux genuinely accessible to native languages.

Changelogs appear to have a simple format: a series of entries each with a few independent lines per change. Fixing merge conflicts should be automatic and invisible. I should never get an email from Salsa for a debian/changelog conflict in my merge requests just because the maintainer added a new change or finalized an entry. Maybe except in extreme cases. One would expect git to handle these conflicts gracefully, but it simply gives up when seeing a context mismatch, which happens almost every time. Even worse, it will happily and silently merge changes into an already released changelog entry. There is dpkg-mergechangelogs, but it's fundamentally the wrong tool to use because it assumes finalized non-conflicting version numbers and changelog entries, the opposite of what happens in development e.g. when rebasing your changes onto upstream packaging. Eventually I got annoyed enough to start writing something that can properly merge debian/changelog files. It's not as simple as it sounds, and my affinity to find edge cases makes it worse. In the talk I'll try to define the problem domain, highlight some weird cases with life-like examples, and demonstrate spooky action at a distance. I don't know if the merge driver itself will be finished in time for the talk, in which case this will also serve as a request for help.
