Having a great time at the first #minidebconf in Mumbai!

#MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai

A wide shot shows a large room filled with people seated at red-clothed tables. The room appears to be a conference or meeting hall, with dark wood paneling along the walls and a large, white, blank projection screen at the front. Most of the people are facing forward, presumably toward a speaker or presentation, and many are looking at laptops or taking notes. Water bottles are visible on each table, along with some papers and other small items. The room is brightly lit by overhead fluorescent lights, and a large pillar is visible on the left side of the frame.

A group of people are gathered in a room for a presentation or lecture. A person stands in front of a screen, seemingly speaking to the audience. The audience members are seated in rows of chairs facing the speaker, with several tables in front of them. Most people are looking toward the speaker.

The room has brown walls with vertical panels. There are bottles of water on the tables. A small portion of code is visible on the screen reading "text: 'This is just a test sentence'". The people in the audience are dressed casually and some have bags next to them.

#FreeSoftware versions of Vagrant is no longer maintained. Vagrant was one of the methods we suggested when people are learning #debian #packaging. I liked the way of sharing a Vagrantfile when doing a workshop for many people.

As I was preparing for another packaging workshop for #MiniDebConf at Navi Mumbai, I gave Incant a try. It is a replacement for Vagrantfile like declaration of machines and uses #Incus as its backend.
