The bursaries team has not yet been formally constituted, so can't really make policy pronouncements. A group of us are in the process of putting together some general rules for how decisions are made [0,1]. We haven't discussed DebCamp specifically yet, but since our goal is to have a consistent set of rules from year to year (and hence need some generality), it seems unlikely that we would mention sprints specifically. So a good work plan, is a good work plan, regardless of the structure it is contained in. On the other hand, I think it is reasonable to discuss whether collaboration is a necessary part of a debcamp plan. My reading of Marga's mail is that she feels it is. I certainly see the point that people don't _need_ to be at debcamp to work on a project alone. On the other hand, extapolating from my own experience, I'm sure there is plenty of individual work on Debian that happens because people are at debcamp, that would not otherwise happen. As far as people's concerns about people not making productive use of their time at debcamp or debconf, I think one point that we did have strong concensus on is that we want "what did you accomplish at previous debcamp / debconf" to play an important role in the evaluation process [2] -- [0]: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Teams/Assistance/Meetings/Bursaries [1]: These rules will obviously have to be ratified by the larger team, but it would obviously be better for people to participate in the discussion before that stage. [2]: Obviously with adjustment for first timers. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
