Debian DebConf26 Recap: Infrastructure Moves, Proxmox, Infomaniak, And WordPress Hardening For Hosting Operators
From 20 to 25 July 2026, the Debian developer community closed its annual DebConf26 in Santa Fe, Argentina, after a preceding DebCamp hacking week. More than 270 attendees from 35 countries delivered 90 events, including deep technical sessions on the Linux kernel, early boot, security, and packaging policy.
