A list of areas of responsibilities is indeed very important. But I do
suggest not to create a team in a team. Some people are responsible for
a certain area and might decide to keep their own meeting with their own
assembled team. But anything else needs to be decided by everybody
involved. IMHO openness is the key.
If openness and clarity are key aspects of organising DC, it makes sense
to have names listed for each team as well. E.g. who is on the
video-team and such and so on. And anything else that needs to be done
to keep the whole process transparent.
Several other posts/areas of responsibilites I see missing from your
current proposal:
* Secretary (1 or two people)
Announces meetings, posts logs and write minutes when needed
* Treasurer (one person)
Preferably somebody from the local team. This person will take
care of budgetting, keeping a ledger, sending invoices, paying
bills, taking care of travel reimbursments, etc. etc.
This can become a heavy task.
* Main organisor (one or two people)
One or two persons ensuring the whole process proceeds as
planned. They keep track of the total picture, identify potential
problems early on and manage the total team in general.
* Conference administration (team)
Takes care of registrations before and during DebConf, is
reponsible for assinging bedrooms and such. Would ensure the
reception is manned or communicate with existing receptions in
hotels and such. And any other aspect concerning participants
and their basic needs.
At the moment I can't come up with more sensible roles, but there might
be some others as well.
Just my 2 cts,
