[Linux-aus] Debian Miniconf returns to Linux.conf.au in 2015

[Simon Lyall]

We are excited to announce the return of the Debian Miniconf to
Linux.conf.au after a break of 6 years. The Miniconf will run by Andrew
Ruthven for a full day of Linux.conf.au 2015.

Debian was the earliest Linux distributions to be open for every developer
and user to contribute their work. It continues to be the most significant
distributor of Linux that is not a commercial entity (and even then, a
number of commercial entities base their distributions on Debian).

As Debian remains a key part of the Linux ecosystem, this miniconf will
collect together people from across the distros as there are a number of
common interests.

Andrew is a Developer from Wellington, New Zealand, he has been running
Debian on his home boxes since Bo was released and installed it using a
shoebox full of 3.5" floppies. His first Bo install has been continually
upgraded ever since, motherboards may have changed, RAID disks replaced,
but it is still the same computer: cerberus.

In addition to using Debian at home, Andrew has been able to run Debian at
every workplace he's had, both on workstations, laptops and servers. In
2012 Andrew became a Debian Maintainer and intends on upgrading to a Debian
Developer when he has time.
He was the co-director of Linux.conf.au 2010
