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.
The Debian project is happy to announce a donation of 10,000 USD to help
[
Framasoft
](

)
reach the fourth stretch-goal of its
[
Peertube v3 crowdfunding campaign -- Live Streaming
](
https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap
)
.
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.

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
We hope this unconventional gesture from the Debian project will help us make
this year somewhat less terrible and give us, and thus humanity, better Free Software tooling
to approach the future.
