Make DebConf12 a success: donate or become a sponsor
March 3rd, 2012
The Debian Project's annual conference is slowly coming closer. Visiting places around the world since 2000, DebConf will take place this year in Managua, Nicaragua, in July and will again provide an opportunity for people who contribute to Debian to meet in person for face-to-face collaboration and discussions.
At DebConf we try to bring together as many Debian contributors as possible, including those who could not afford to attend from their own resources. You can help make DebConf12 a success by your organisation becoming a sponsor, or by donating money as an individual.
Individual donations can be made online in either US dollars or euros.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, you can find more information about DebConf12 sponsor page or directly contact <sponsors@debconf.org>.
In addition to monetary donations, sponsorship can be provided in the form of in-kind donations, or by lending equipment for the conference period.
About Debian
The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly

the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of
volunteers from all over the world work together to create and
maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and
supporting a huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the
universal operating system
