If anyone wants to organize a Python-specific "miniconf" during the

Hello,

As you might have noticed, DebConf20 is being organized as an online
conference. In the CFP, we called for volunteers to maybe organize
language-specific tracks ("miniconfs") during DebConf:

     ## Language-specific miniconfs

     This time we will try something different: language-specific 
miniconfs as
     tracks inside DebConf20. If you would like to organize one, get in 
touch with
     the content team by email to <content at debconf.org> or on the 
#debconf-content
     channel on IRC. Note that for that to work, you will have to 
provide volunteers
     who speak the language to the content team (to review and approve 
talks) and to
     the video team (to operate the streaming tools live during the 
talks or edit
     prerecorded talks in advance), because those jobs will need people with
     knowledge of the language spoken in the talks.

This could help to attract local communities who would not otherwise
participate in DebConf20 due to the language barrier. It doesn't have to
be a lot of talks, a couple of them could already be nice.

If you are interested, please gather a team of volunteers to handle the
necessary tasks as described above, and let the DebConf20 content team
know.
