Hi, I don't see any problems in moving the date like Adnan said. We have the means, and there's no extra work needed to be done. Why would it be a bad idea? We can be more rigorous, as Adnan said, when deciding on who gets sponsored and who doesn't in order not to have too many "non-Debian-contributors".
And could we decide on this ASAP, so it doesn't "float in the air" anymore?
