The image team produce a lot of different images for Debian:

• Installer images for all architectures
• Live image for a lot of desktops on amd64 only (so far)

We'd like to discuss the current setup with interested people, and plan for the future.

• Which desktops should we be building live images for?
  • We want to work with the desktop teams more
• How long is BIOS boot going to be a thing?
• How can we do a better job of supporting new architectures?
  • Building live images for all arches?
• How can we better support our users?
• etc.

Please come along and talk to us!

Hidden Injections, 404 Errors, and the Path to Modern Builds.

When a modern Go package is added to Debian, it should just work. But what if a perfectly compiled binary fails with a "404 Not Found" error that nobody can explain?

After our investigation: We found Debian’s Go infrastructure is trapped Bookworm, Trixie and also Forky in Time Travel to 2011. Can we rescue "Forky" (Debian 14) Go back to the present and to be ready for the future?

Technical Presentation

If you maintain Go related packages. You’ve seen the error: Package A needs B, but B needs A.

In the Go world, this is becoming the "normal" for core libraries as Go’s modular designs for a world of "get the latest" but Debian still lives in a world of "builds in order from source".

Let's see how we can clear the path easily with Go and go.mod itself to resolving the Go Circular Build-Dependencies in Debian.

https://debconf26.debconf.org/talks/47-loong64-port-bof/

This is a BoF session around the Debian loong64 port that intends to help people interested in the port to:

• get familiar with each other,
• keep each other updated with latest development in the port, and
• discuss and plan about the port's Debian 14 debut release next year.

The unaffiliated community people will be present; we're still waiting for official confirmation from Loongson teams regarding whether they will attend. We may arrange for them to participate on-line.

You may use Mandarin or English – several participants and I will be able to interpret if necessary.

The event likely will not be recorded; if you want to video-tape the session, ask the audience for permission first.

This presentation aims to share why Debian is chosen by several entities to host their services. It intends to describe some aspects of syndicalism in France and make some parallel with the Debian project and its technical robustness.

It will share how activism led the speaker to Debian, how useful Debian has been for this purpose, and how Debian led them to activism again.

https://debconf26.debconf.org/talks/101-age-verification-is-moving-into-the-os-layer-can-open-source-still-shape-the-standards/

Age verification and digital identity systems are increasingly being pushed into operating system-level APIs. This talk presents the Brazilian “ECA Digital” consultation as a case study of how these requirements are being translated into technical infrastructure while still under active definition, with ongoing exploration involving a public research institution (IPT) and industry actors such as Lenovo.
We focus strictly on the technical dimension of emerging systems design, avoiding legal or policy discussion. The goal is to analyze implications for open source systems, particularly interoperability, privacy, and the risk of proprietary implementations becoming de facto standards.

https://debconf26.debconf.org/talks/46-improving-debian-through-better-testing/

In this talk, I'll share how I used Openqa to set up "start-stop" tests for LXQt, Cinnamon, and XFCE desktop environments. I'll show how these tests launch apps, check the user interface, and make sure they close properly. This way, we can be confident that Debian Live images are truly functional, not just bootable.

This presentation is for QA engineers, developers, and Linux enthusiasts who want to automate manual testing. It's especially useful if you're working on desktop stability or curious about how openQA handles different environments.

Attendees will learn how to write reusable test scripts for various desktops and how to spot failures that boot tests might miss. I'll also talk about how this helps improve Debian's reliability by providing a final check before release.

Additionally, I will discuss my journey to joining the Debian project through my Outreachy internship (a newcomer from an underrepresented background as a woman of colour), my tasks/contributions, and their impact. It will serve as a form of encouragement to newcomers to the Debian project and the openqa testing project.

I will cover these areas:

• OpenQA for OS testing
• Working examples
• How I was introduced to the Debian Project
• The Debian OpenQA team

This BoF is an opportunity to discuss between fellow team members and users (including sponsors), and to present our current goals regarding our workflows.

https://debconf26.debconf.org/talks/86-the-jupy-project-bringing-native-south-american-languages-to-gnulinux/

Debian prides itself on being the "Universal Operating System", but modern technology still imposes Portuguese or Spanish as a prerequisite for using computers in South America. This linguistic barrier accelerates the cultural erasure and silencing of diverse communities. We believe free software is the only ecosystem capable of reversing this scenario, promoting true technological sovereignty and linguistic preservation.
In this talk, we present the initial stages of the Jupy Project, which aims to implement native support for Native South American languages like Kaingang, Nheengatu, Guarani, and Ticuna in Linux. Using the Lux Lenovo OS (a Debian-based distro) as a practical laboratory, we will share technical localization obstacles, such as creating glibc locales, keyboard mapping, and font rendering.
Our goal is to open a transparent dialogue about our main challenges: ensuring continuous maintenance and respectfully validating interfaces with the speaking communities. We invite the global Debian community to help us build architectural solutions and upstream contribution workflows that make Linux genuinely accessible to native languages.

https://debconf26.debconf.org/talks/8-organize-the-debian-day-in-your-city/

This presentation has two goals:

I will present what Debian Day is, Its importance to the Debian community, and why the event should take place in various cities around the world. The first goal is to ensure that those attending the presentation return to their cities with renewed enthusiasm to organize Debian Day with their local communities.

The second objective is to report on the work we have done in Brazil in 2024 and 2025, When we created a group of local organizers to jointly request financial assistance from DPL to cover the expenses in each city. The Debian funding was used to pay for coffee breaks, cakes, produce graphic materials such as banners, flyers, stickers, etc. I will show other cities can follow this idea and request assistance from DPL. Thanks to this work, we had a record number of Brazilian cities organizing Debian Day in 2025: 15.

Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) are transforming software supply chain security. As different regulations begin to require these component inventories, transparency is mandatory. Accurate SBOMs are critical for tracking security support, managing vulnerabilities effectively and correctly track component licenses. This session provides a short update on the current state of SBOM support within Debian. As a second part of the session, we will open the floor for a BoF discussion aimed to identify gaps and how to improve the overall SBOM support.

[ This is not DSA-specific, yet hijacking part of the BoF is welcome 😉 ]

I’d like to gather people with system administration experience, especially in the professional field. The purpose is to share our experiences working with Debian(-derivatives), and to highlight differences, especially depending on our local legal contexts (e.g., what does being on call means for you and for the law you depend on).
