It is not just about giving someone something to help with the insurance It actually needs to be clear to people that a) buying the travel insurance may be a good idea and takes pressure off the DebConf team b) that the event is, as the ugly wording described, `not for profit' and subject to the arrangements with venues, catering, etc, there simply may not be cash available to refund someone who cancels one week before That is openness and transparency, but the actual words used can certainly be changed to suit different tastes _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
