Just to be clear: we are actively trying to identify and reach out to past members. We are very well aware of this need, and we certainly don't want to move ahead without them. We are even trying to get in touch with some past members who have been inactive for a while. As it turns out, some people we talked to cannot make the meeting on Monday, which is why we are probably going to reschedule it. > We therefore want to accelerate re-formation of the DebConf > fundraising team.

For the benefit of all those who were not at the meetings, could you briefly summarise what this approach is? It is my understanding that we agreed that teams need a lead and co-lead, who act as primary points of contact to the outside. Other than that, a team pretty much self-organises, right? > Again, this is because we don't want to jeopardise the current > effort to re-form DebConf subteams by presenting people who should > be in those teams with faits accomplis which may make them feel > excluded from decision-making. We are very consciously trying to avoid anything of this sort. I don't think — and I am sure others involved will back this up — that there is anything to worry about at this stage. Hope this alleviates all concerns. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@debconf.org> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16 in your country? https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16
