    The DVD images are now available for download along with the source videos, as are the software and menu design used for them.

    If you'll pay travel expenses, the Debian developers will even come to your house and show you the entire video editing process step-by-step.

    Maybe the AC has a point. Who might these DVDs be useful for? Are they technical discussions, or stuff like IceWeasel/Firefox discussions? Or just fun events for the Debian guys to get together?
    TFA just mentions 'DebConf sessions', so I'm not sure what that involves (a little bit of all, I'm guessing).

    I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
  3. Oh yes, that's positively captivating! by Mikachu · · Score: 3, Funny

    We can go watch it in my parents' basement! And afterwards, lets play a nice long game of dungeons and dragons while doing calculus. Whose bringing the ten sided dice this time?

    .... snnnnnzzzzzzzzzz

    I haven't seen any of them but the title alone is enough to induce somnolence.

    Now if it was called Debbie Does Debian or something like that it might be a best seller ;)

    The actual isos are available here:

    NTSC: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meet ings/2006/debconf6/dvd/ntsc/
    PAL: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meet ings/2006/debconf6/dvd/pal/

    4.3 Gigs each!

    By navigating the menus in the one of the first couple links you can get an overview of the content: Basically the lectures/whatever that were given at debconf.

    You can only trust Debian to not only release DVDs, but the source behind making them. :)
