Umh... I disagree here, from my personal experience. In several cases, I have acted as supportive to a given bid. In the case of DC12, I had been pushing since 2009 (when I first travelled to Nicaragua for the first Central American Free Software Encounter) for some country in the region to present a DebConf bid. Of course, for the DC12 bid presentations and decision I did act as a local, and didn't vote (as I had a stake on the decision). But if I wasn't there on a day-to-day basis, if I was unable to go to meetings with physical people, if I didn't know the whereabouts and details on how to arrange for $whatever, I wouldn't have considered myself a local. Of course, we long tried to dillute the meaning of the "local team", insisting on that they were basically "the locals" in the wide organizing team. And yes, being ~2000Km away I was clearly not among "the locals". Of course, that's my personal experience. One data point. You are a different data point. But I guess we have been through somewhat comparable situations, hence this post. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
