I don't think it's spam as such, but I suspect it's a scam. Not necessarily against us, but e.g. someone who currently can't get a visa to go to Mexico trying to get one by using a conference invitation as a pretext. (If we provide any letters to unknown people -- probably not a good idea -- we ought at least to protect ourselves by making clear in them that the people remain responsible for their own expenses.) -- Moray http://www.morayallan.com/ _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
