As you say, it was a mistake, so unfortunately no one knew about it to
be able to tell you.
I just thought that a human made the change to the paper's status, and so that person could have realized the implications, and told me.
Will you reimburse my expenses in that situation? You don't appear to have been awarded travel, accommodation, or food sponsorship, so DebConf won't reimburse your expenses in any case; the deadlines for requesting sponsorship passed a few months ago.
The point is that this mistake costs me time and money. I wouldn't necessarily have taken the time and purchased a plane ticket if I wasn't going to be giving a talk. It was the (big) "straw that broke the camel's back" in the decision to go to a Debian conference. Now, I am going to at least re-consider. I'd almost be happy to speak to an empty room as I have not given many presentations before and this was going to be practice for me. Actually, I've talked to a lot of people about Debian and Ubuntu and I think there might be a decent amount of interest for a such a discussion. -Keith
