Debian feeds freedom of software, but our Developers still have to eat lunch, so we pause for this non-commercial break. Non-Commercial, get it? #DebianIsHilarious. #VagueJoke #DebConf19

We have returned. Started: "Surprise, you are a manager", "Using git for Ubuntu packaging", and the Debian Med BoF #DebConf19 https://debconf19.debconf.org/schedule/?day=2019-07-26

Also at this time, two non-streamed events: "Controle de versão no empacotamento usando GIT e GBP" and "Arts and design on Debian: free software, tips and how to make it happen" https://debconf19.debconf.org/schedule/?day=2019-07-26

Next discussion sessions: "Meet the technical committee", "Salsa and Salsa-CI BoF – how the two teams could collaborate and provide a perfect platform for Debian Developers", and the Debian Live BoF. 2 more talks have been added that unfortunately cannot be streamed: RISC-V BoF and Molior - Debian Build System BoF. #DebConf19 https://debconf19.debconf.org/schedule/?day=2019-07-26

We pause for an afternoon conference break. Yes, we merged the 2 previous used break images. @GIMP_Official #DebConf19

The afternoon continues with "DJCLI: Case Study in how Debian Opens Opportunities for those with Different Needs", "Is Debian (and Free Software) gender diverse enough?", and the Web team BoF. 2 additional talks added which are unfortunately not streamed (sorry): Outreach BoF and "Debian in the Embedded World" #DebConf19 https://debconf19.debconf.org/schedule/?day=2019-07-26

To make sure you are using someone’s correct encryption key—and that others know that they are using the correct encryption key for you—it’s important to perform key verification.

Google and the email app Superhuman promised to fix their privacy flaws. But surveillance remains the core of the products. That's why privacy must be baked into the foundation, argues @cwarzel. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/opinion/email-tracking.html
