More attendees enjoy the dinner, because they are all in, but it is less relevant, because every day we have a (less fancy) dinner. Some DebConfs have skipped a special conference dinner (off the top of my head, and in recent times, DC10), and it is hardly noticeed. But (even after often discussing that we have too little budget for a daytrip to happen, year after year) we have always held daytrips. And at least to me, they are all very memorable. I can still give you some great social and environmental highlights of all of the daytrips I have been to. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
