That's what I hoped would happen, but local team said wouldn't be possible due to various reasons. I recognize that VAT for things spent within switzerland may be unavoidable [though, part of the hope for a local organization is to be nonprofit to get tax exempt...], but it's the necessity of swiss rules for global money that I want to point out before it becomes a surprise. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - ehrenfest: up 7 days, 2:26 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
