Or that's what we (I?) > perceive ;-) I feel compelled to point out here that in the discussions around sponsored accomodations, the compromise that was arrived at was to gather data as part of registration about whether those who we want to sponsor would accept communal accomodation. In order to get an unbiased answer to this question, the accomodation preferences of those who have requested sponsorship *must not* be part of the information available to the herb team; the rankings of the herb team must not be influenced (subconsciously or otherwise) by the sponsoree's willingness to accept communal accomodations, but must instead be based on a straightforward assessment of the sponsoree's contribution to the conference. This does not preclude either Philipp or Giacomo from being part of the Herb team per se, and my comments are not targeted at them personally. But it does mean that the Herb team's decision-making process should be kept at arm's length from the registration team to avoid contamination. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
