Presentasjonen starter presis, og dørene inn til auditoriet er låst, så det er lurt å ankomme før 18:30 mens det er folk i døra til å slippe deltagerne inn.

Månedens tema er «Beyond Debian: when the best distro just isn't good enough»:

Administrators appreciate the Debian System for its stability, security, integrity, and of course because of the high quality of (most of) the software and their metadata in the Debian archive. In most cases, Debian just works, but occasionally you'll run up against a wall, trying to achieve something that even Debian wasn't designed for.

In this talk, I want to share my experience in maintaining Debian systems in some more eclectic use cases, and let you in on some techniques which go beyond Debian. However, we don't depart from the distro and the talk will also include information on how to customise existing packages, build your own ones, file effective bug reports, take part in bug squashing, and finally what's involved in becoming a Debian developer (and when you should or should not consider it).

If you have run into a wall with your Debian system, please feel free to contact me ahead of time at madduck@debian.org. I cannot promise it, but I may have a solution to your problem, which I'd be glad to work into my talk.

Martin Krafft ("madduck") is a dedicated Debian developer, helping with user support, public representation, security issues, quality assurance, integration tasks, as well as the maintenance of packages, such as mdadm, hibernate, and logcheck. He is the author of the book _The Debian System_ (http://debiansystem.info/). For his dissertation, he researches the adoption of new development methods by developers of the Debian project (http://phd.martin-krafft.net/).
