As a former organizer for many similar events... I can only testify: The comparison between them and DebConf is possible, but DebConf is many times more complex than any other conference I have set up. Of course, your experience will be of great help. Now, do you expect to join in with the organization of DebConf13 in Switzerland? Being a team member will give you immense insight on the process. We do not consider it a *strong* requirement (one of the Debian mantras is that you cannot force anybody to volunteer their time), but an important one. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
