All this can be for you... If you open any other spam message :-P This one is very unlikely to give you any of such perks, but you will anyway be a respected and esteemed member of your project community. We are not far from launching the DebConf14 call for papers (yay!), but before doing so, we need to assemble a great talks rating/selection team. This team is usually 5-8 people strong; we decided to first explicitly invite the members for this team for the past two DebConfs, and after this send an open call for members. We have three or four (that is, one of the replies was from a person that can work on some rating sprints, but was reluctant to confirm. So, what is this team's job description? Shortly after the CfP is launched, we can start (individually) rating the conferences along several vectors — In the past, those vectors have been IIRC "relevance", "actuality" and "reception", but we can decide to use different vectors. This will allow us (as a team) to get a feeling about the globally-best talks, so they can be scheduled with priority. We should also talk about tracks to be covered - Be it either proactive (decide which tracks we'd like to have and recruit people to deliver talks on them) or reactive (find patterns in the submitted talk proposals and group them tematically). The job is not very hard or time consuming, and it *really* results in an important qualitative difference for a DebConf. So, are you interested? Please reply to this message!
