The original e-mail explicitly purports a different spirit: that the "local team" (a bad name) is *not* just made up of "true locals", but a natural grouping of people supporting a bid/conference instance. In that sense it's "diluting the meaning of the local team" and that's part of the purpose — and not something that I am doing maliciously, while everyone else is just being noble. We need to empower those with energy and ideas to drive the conference. During the DC15 cycle, it became obvious that the teams structure didn't work out and its implementation was halted. Yet, DebConf15 orga shaped up to become a very successful conference with true DebConf nature. Not everyone remained on board throughout the year, but that's a natural process in any volunteer organisation. Yet, most people involved stayed motivated to continue working on dc-orga, instead of sinking into the post-DebConf burnout, and that's what we wanted to achieve all along! Unfortunately, this motivation and involvement is currently fading fast, it seems. Instead of finger-pointing and trying to resume installing a sub-teams structure that fell short of expectations and too often got in the way, we should build upon what worked well for DC15 (and the successful conferences before that) and take things from there. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@debconf.org> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf16: Cape Town: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16 DebConf17 in your country? https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17
