Status: draft
DebConf is the annual conference for Debian contributors and users interested
in improving Debian. Although originally planned to happen in person,
this year's iteration, [DebConf20](https://debconf20.debconf.org/),
had to be held online.
While being a resounding success, DebConf20 made clear to the project our need
to have a permanent live streaming infrastructure for small events held
by local Debian groups. As such, [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/),
a FOSS video hosting platform, seems to be the perfect solution for us.
The Debian project is thus happy to announce a donation of 10,000 USD,
part of the DebConf20 and Debian funding,
to help [Framasoft](https://framasoft.org) reach the fourth stretch-goal
of its [Peertube v3 crowdfunding campaign -- Live Streaming](https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap).
We hope this unusual gesture from the Debian project will help us make
this year somewhat less terrible and give us better free software tooling
to approach the future.
Debian thanks the commitment of numerous Debian donors and DebConf sponsors,
particularly our DebConf20 Platinum Sponsors: Lenovo, Infomaniak, Google
and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Our project also thanks Framasoft and the PeerTube community for developing
PeerTube as a free and decentralized video platform.
