Ah, now it is explained why different people were talking about this merge soon after DebConf12. > Food for thought: > > * Non-english conversations? Actually needed? At least not for DebConf13, because we already use English inside the Debian Swiss community. For other DebConfs requiring English conversations has a double output: it could attract more external people and it could keep away local people, because of the language barrier. > * Cross-posting headache resolved? I think that this is the result of a "misconfiguration" of the localteams. If we are clear that everyone in the localteam must be subscribed to -team@, than we (/me in primis) can stop cross-posting. > * Does it lead to actual improvement of the situation? I still think that there is material which should not be on -team, especially given that -team@ subscribers are way more than the people actually involved in DebConf organization. So, if we decide to merge the two, then -team@ will probably lose subscribers. We will always have localteam lists, if any at least for the bid preparation. I had been under the impression that the winning bid would have its localteam list migrated to the real debconfNN-localteam@ list, which was/is actually not the case. > * Redirection from the -localteam mailing list to -team? This should be done at least for debconf13-localteam@ and maybe for debconf12-localteam@ as well if we do not close it completely. After 3 months from the merge we can simply close down the -localteam@ mailing lists. > * Archives? I would simply keep the status quo. To summarize: I am in favor of the merge. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
