Talk 1: Brief intro to Deb Packages and the Release cycle:
Speaker: Kapil Hari Paranjape, Debian Developer
Duration: ~30mins
Debian GNU/Linux has a fairly complicated release process, with
packages first entering unstable, then moving to testing and, finally,
testing becomes stable. How do packages actually make their way
through this path? Also, what's the weirdness with these Toy Story
characters? This talk will attempt to answer these questions with the
following:
- How a package enters Debian, and a description of unstable
- Building packages for various architectures
- The transition from unstable to testing: how dependency based
transitions are resolved, rules for transition.
- Freeze and stable
- Updates to stable

Talk 3: VRRP
