[Debian-au] Codefest / Debian bug squish [Sydney, 29th May]: Call for speakers and bugs

[Mary Gardiner]

Hi debian-au,

There's a Codefest / Debian bugsquish being held on Saturday 29th May at
the University of Sydney, as per
http://debian.slug.org.au/events/detail.html?id=131

We're looking for two things: speakers to give talks on a variety of
coding topics, and bugs from bugs.debian.org to close.

Some possible topics for talks:
 - bug hunting techniques
 - bug hunting war stories
 - classic hacks
 - introduction to various programming techniques in different areas
   (graphics, networking, web...)
 - fun stuff

I'd guess talks will be roughly 15-45 minutes in length, and they'll be
fairly informal (my memories of codefests are a bunch of people sitting
in a lab, some of them hacking, some of them listening to the talks).

As for bugs, it would be great if people could nominate interesting bugs
from http://bugs.debian.org/ in particular for coders to be unleashed
on.

Please contact me off-list,

Mary
