(This is a long email; I apologize, but I think it's important.) Hi all,
The proposal deadline for DebConf11 has closed, and the three bids are Banja Luka, Bosnia; Munich, Germany; and Quito, Ecuador. Good luck to all! We need to move toward a decision in the next couple of months. Given the lack of a single bid that everyone can agree is clearly the best, we will do the usual process, a long IRC meeting where we compare bids according to a priority list and come to a decision. On IRC it seemed that the weekend of February 27th and 28th is best. If this is not good for you, speak up now. Otherwise, please fill out the poll below with your availability. Please read the text above the poll so I don't have to make this email longer by repeating it. :) http://doodle.com/evkkvre3rk2tmdsm Also please send at least one person from each DC11 bid team to global team meetings from now until the decision. Between now and the decision we will have a "DC11 bids status update" agenda item in the global team meetings, and we want to hear from each bid. The next meeting will be January 20th from 21:00-22:00 UTC in #debconf-team. To prepare for the decision meeting, bid teams should: 1) Make sure they have a complete wiki page at http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/<your bid> that answers all the questions at http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/LocationCheckList (feel free to copy that wiki page into your own and modify it) 2) Make sure your wiki page is linked appropriately from http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11 3) Add to your wiki page a list of your own bid's weaknesses and the other bids' strengths as you see them. 4) Be responsive to questions that the global team or other bid teams ask of you on the debconf-team list and on IRC 5) Be polite to other bid teams! This is friendly competition, not war! :) Good luck everyone, and see you on the 20th! - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
