In the meeting today [1] was decided: #info We should decide in the next week if we would like to switch to a new system from penta -- and a deadline by which the new system would have to be ready, or we would revert to penta So registration opening date is going to be defined within one week from now. What about the other dates? I just added a small comparison about the dates of the last two years' DebConfs [2]. Cheers, Felix [1] http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf-team/2012/debconf-team.2012-03-07-18.05.txt [2] Comparison of dates, all times are calculated to the first day of DebCamp (which would be in our case 1. of July): * DebConf11 Registration open: 3 months and 9 days Paper submission deadline: 2 months and 28 days Sponsorship deadline: 2 months and 9 days * DebConf10 Registration open: 3 months and 10 days Paper submission deadline: 2 months and 2 weeks Sponsorship deadline: 1 month and 5 days _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
