I've also wondered about this, but my current view is that there is more benefit in having people with strong previous DebConf-organising experience make the decision than in seeking a more impartial/uninvolved jury. Or, of course, a mixture of both, but I would suspect that keeping the 'decision team' small would be best. It also might be dangerous to have a group of people make the decision without being committed to further work on DebConf: you want the people doing the work to feel that they 'own' the decision (even if they didn't make it personally), rather than that it was imposed on them from outside, so that they feel committed to working through whatever difficulties arise. > Either way, it would seem that around now, we should think about > forming a group of a few people who will be expected to be at the > center of the decision process (but not the bid-write-up process). Indeed, we're getting towards the next decision time, so should try to get some agreement in this thread soon. :) -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
