I would not want to suggest this to any other group unless it is 100% acceptable to DebConf Whatever form it takes, I suspect DebConf team needs to agree to it under rules such as: a) during the DebCamp phase: maximum number of beds/rooms/bandwidth available to third parties b) cost and risk sharing e.g. the other group(s) must pay at least 1 month before the deadlines set by Le Camp (e.g. DebConf must pay something in December, so any other group must pay money in November or we don't count them) c) after DebConf: will bandwidth still be available for another 1-2 weeks? Will there be billing issues? d) the other group must do ALL organising themselves: the only official relationship with DebConf is payment of money and share bandwidth. No formal collaboration on any social events or other efforts If these guidelines are acceptable to the group, I'm happy to circulate it, maybe we even put up a wiki page inviting bids for other groups wanting to participate? _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
