Debian developer and leader of the debian-cd project Steve McIntyre announced the official dates and schedule of this year's Mini-DebConf conference for Debian developers and users.

The Mini-DebConf 2017 conference will take place for four days, from Thursday, November 23 until Sunday, November 26, and it will be hosted at Arm's office in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Arm is Steve McIntyre's employer and the industry's leading supplier of microprocessors for embedded and IoT devices.

"I'm organizing another mini-DebConf in Cambridge this year. Again, my employer Arm is going to host the conference for four days in November," said Steve McIntyre in the mailing list announcement. "I'm also hoping to find sponsors again to cover some other costs for the conference for things like food - please contact me if you can help!"

Here's the official schedule of Mini-DebConf 2017

During the conference, attendees will be able to join various sessions dedicated to development for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, as well as team meetings and sprints. These will take place on the first day of the conference as part of a Mini-DebCamp event, from November 23 to November 24.

During the other two days of the Mini-DebConf 2017 conference, attendees will be able to join various talks about everything Debian. However, it should be noted that spaces are limited and no more than 40 people can attend the first two days, and no more than 80 people for the general talks.

If you plan on attending this year's Mini-DebConf event, we suggest visiting the conference's homepage for all the details about accommodation, location, food, and more. You should be there if you care about the future of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, as well as if you're interested in running Debian on ARM.
