DebConf25, the 25th annual Debian Developer Conference, is taking place in Brest, France from 14 to 19 July 2025. Debian contributors from all over the world have come together at the Campus of IMT Atlantique Bretagne-Pays de la Loire, Brest, to participate and work in a conference exclusively ran by volunteers.

As the conference begins on July 14, the French National Day, Debian can make France's motto its own: "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", Freedom for Free and Open Source Software, Equity for the equal right (and duties) of everyone to use, modify and share Free Software, Fraternity which perfectly covers what our code of conduct defines.

Today the main conference starts with around 500 expected attendants and over 140 scheduled activities, including 45-minute and 20-minute talks, Bird of a Feather ("BoF") team meetings, workshops, a job fair, as well as a variety of other events. The full schedule is updated each day, including activities planned ad-hoc by attendees over the course of the conference.

If you would like to engage remotely, you can follow the video streams available from the DebConf25 website for the events happening in the three talk rooms: Méridienne, Grand amphi and Petit amphi accessible from the DebConf25 homepage. Or you can join the conversations happening inside the talk rooms via the OFTC IRC network in the #debconf-meridienne, #debconf-grandamphi, #debconf-petitamphi, and #debconf-bof channels. Please also join us in the #debconf channel for common discussions related to DebConf.

You can also follow the live coverage of news about DebConf25 provided by our micronews service or the @debian profile on your favorite social network.

DebConf is committed to a safe and welcoming environment for all participants. Please see our Code of Conduct page for more information on this.

Debian thanks the commitment of numerous sponsors to support DebConf25, particularly our Platinum Sponsors: Infomaniak, Proxmox, Viridien, EDF, and AMD.
