In all of this - and completely independently of the geopolitical situation - I'd like to thank Tzafir and the Israeli team for the efforts they have made up until this point. The Kochi presentation made it clear that at that point they were having to search for a new venue within Haifa. It's a point worth remembering for everyone involved in planning for the future that we're absolutely dependent on the goodwill of university venues or whatever whenever we do this. Everybody in Debian is a volunteer - and the Israeli team have put in lots of time and effort over a period of several years and are probably now feeling worn out by it all coming to no effect. Stefano is right: nothing is fixed in stone: if all else fails and everybody runs out of time, then a virtual Debconf is always a possibility again though that means nobody meets up > Stefano Rivera > http://tumbleweed.org.za/ > +1 415 683 3272 > With every good wish to everyone and good luck for all bids Andy (amaca...@debian.org)
