A practical introduction to English Country Dancing (leisure-time activity) -- Karsten Merker
Speaker: Karsten Merker
English Country Dance is a traditional form of folk dance which is based on performing a series of dance figures together with the neigbouring dancers who form a "set" (usually consisting of 4 dancers). Many of these dances are structured in a way that there are two counter-movements in the dance which lead to changing sets with each round of the music, so that during the dance, everybody gets do dance with everybody else. Historically, English Country Dances were built up from a number of "couples", i.e. female dancers on one side of the set and male dancers on the other, but this is just a convention; the basic dance figures are the same for all dancers and it is absolutely common in modern sets to have some women dancing in the men's position and vice versa. Traditional English Country Dancing does not happen in classical "dancing hold"; instead the dancers in a set are only "loosely coupled", either moving on their own or while giving a hand to their current partner, so nobody has to fear stepping on anybody's toes :-). The basic dance figures are easy to learn and no prior dancing experience is necessary. The idea behind this event is to teach the basic dance figures and a number of easy dances, and simply have a lot of fun together. We will have live music, kindly provided by some of our fellow DDs. Please register for the event if you would like to take part, as we need to reserve a room which is large enough for all dancers. The number of participants is in principle unlimited, as long as we can get a large enough room.

Debian Women BoF -- Margarita Manterola ( BoF )
Speaker: Margarita Manterola
* We will meet at the stones at the end of the venue * Debian Women is the project to bring more women to contribute to Debian. It was founded 11 years ago, during DebConf4. In the past we've done several different activities (mentoring, irc tutorials, mini-debconfs and others) and now we need new ideas for things to try that may help bring more women to participate in Debian. If you have experienced or witnessed obstacles preventing women from participating in Debian and/or you have ideas of things that we may do to make more interested women able to participate, please join us to discuss this. Mini agenda for the meeting: A) Brainstorm problems that women face when approaching Debian / trying to contribute. B) Brainstorm things that Debian Women could do to make the situation better. C) If we find some nice ideas and volunteers to do them, try to commit to making them a reality. Please note that everyone that shares the goal of helping more women participate in Debian is welcome, regardless of their gender.
