Local celebrations of Debian 2024 Day also happened on [Pouso Alegre, MG, Brazil] (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/315431). In this year we managed to organize two days of lectures!
On the 14th of August 2024, Wednesday morning, we were on the [Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the South of Minas Gerais] (https://portal.ifsuldeminas.edu.br/index.php), (IFSULDEMINAS), Pouso Alegre campus. We did an introductory presentation of the Project Debian, operating system and community, for the three years of the Technical Course in Informatics (professional high school). The event was closed to IFSULDEMINAS students and talked to 60 people.
On August 17th, 2024, a Saturday morning, we held the event open to the community at the University of the Sapucaí Valley (Univás), with institutional support of the Information Systems Course. We speak about the Debian Project with Giovani Ferreira (Debian Developer); about the Debian pt_BR translation team with Thiago Pezzo; about everyday experiences using free software with Virginia Cardoso; and on how to set up a development environment ready for production using Debian and Docker with Marcos António dos Santos. After the lectures, snacks, coffee and cake were served, while the participants talked, asked questions and shared experiences.

- Michelle Nery (IFSULDEMINAS) and André Martins (UNIVÁS) for the aid in the local organization
- Paulo Santana (Debian Brazil) by the general organization
