Hi, I thought I would give a bit of background as to why I have requested to move his talk. We had let Eben Moglen know that he could change his talk if the time did not work out. I had a chance to meet with him yesterday about his talk and his general participation at Debconf and it is clear that he and the SFLC (Software Freedom Law Center) want an active presence at Debconf. His talk, which will be about alternatives to cloud computing, is something he would love to talk to developers about post-talk and over the course of a number of days. Having his talk on Day 6 is not ideal for allowing him to talk to developers in any depth and breadth after his talk. Given this and given that he has gone out of his way to help Debconf (in sponsorship and will help with PR), I requested the change of schedule. I think it makes a lot of sense to have him earlier and I was only able to get the necessary information yesterday so apologize over the delay. I am on this list but only as digest so please cc me if you need to respond. Thanks, Biella **************************************************** Gabriella Coleman, Assistant Professor Department of Media, Culture, & Communication New York University 239 Greene St, 7th floor NY NY 10003 212-992-7696 http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty_bios/view/Gabriella_Coleman _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
