Add to this some sort of a recommendation to people who are not so involved on what the committee thinks has a better chance of being interesting/useful/prepared. > I'm not completely happy with any of the proposals (including mine). Neither :-/ Possibly we should just do away with the levels for next year? I do feel it is important to rate the proposals - be it for sponsorship, be it for a bit of academic attitude, I don't know... We have (and this year I was part of it - And it does carry some pride for me!) an academic committee. But yes, it is a point we should probably debate on... On previous years, scheduling decisions were a bit stronger IIRC - Official talks were guaranteed not to be scheduled simultaneously with other official talks. This criteria was not followed this year (also probably because we approved more talks as official?). -- Gunnar Wolf • gw...@gwolf.org • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
