Hi again, I would like to make two corrections to my mail yesterday that have been pointed out by some fellow DebConf organizers: First, I mentioned that Mark Shuttleworth is not part of Debian - I'm sorry, I meant that Mark is not part of the DebConf organization - He *is* a Debian Developer. However, even in his case, Debian is a completely voluntary group, and we simply cannot make any individual do something he does not want to. The explanation I sent yesterday stands.
Second, the mail by Alexander I mentioned was not sent explicitly to you, so -with his permission- I am quoting it here in full. Greetings, ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexander Reichle-Schmehl <toli...@debian.org> Subject: Your talk and upcoming DebianDay and DebConf? To: Mark Shuttleworth <m...@ubuntu.com>, ma...@debian.org Message-ID: <4e200444.7040...@debian.org> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:11:32 +0200 Dear Mark, as you might know I'm in Debian's publicity team and am working on an announcement for the upcoming DebianDay. However, there seems to be some ambiguity, whether you'll be available for a talk for the DebianDay or not. I've been told that there was some miscommunication or misunderstandings, and as the DebConf Orga Team (which I left five years ago due to time constraints should you wonder) is currently quite busy preparing the actual conference, they asked me to clarify and "mediate" so to speak. I've also been told, that you seem to think you would not be welcome at the DebConf. So let me assure you, that this is far from true! We would really like to see you attending, giving your talks and participating! The talk selection committee also told me, that a talk from you in the main conference would be most welcome, even if all deadlines have been passed already. Just say when you'll be available, and what topic you'd like to talk about, and I'll make sure that we reserve the slot for you. If there's anything else the DebConf Team or I personally can do, to show you that you are welcome, just say it, and I'll do my very best. I hope that you can manage to attend and I hear a positve answer from you soon. Yours sincerely, Alexander, aka Tolimar ======================= Best regards, Alexander _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
