Debconf11: The Debian Conference and Camp Proposal for 2011 from Germany

On Tuesday, June 2 2009 sixteen members of the local Debian and FOSS
community met in Berlin to discuss a possible bid from Germany for the
Debconf11. We had some discussions at DebConf8
already and also our DPL promoted the idea. There is a strong desire in
the local community to get the Debconf to Germany for the first time.
The participation at the informally organized Berlin meeting was
already overwhelming. There is a big and active group of very welcoming
and friendly local supporters and there is an excellent and cost
effective infrastructure available to host the event and contributors
from all over the world. We had a follow up about a Berlin bid during the Linuxtag on June 26, 2009, where bidders from Rhein/Rhur and Munich also presented their ideas for bids. We decided to submit only one bid for Debconf11 from Germany and will have an internal German process to decide which bid will work out best. During the Debconf9 there was a presentation of the bids from Germany.
