Most of the final report content is done. Given the circumstances, I've suggested an alternative approach on 2015-12-11 (sent to dc-sponsors-team, and attached to this mail now). The finances are done: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/FinalReport/Finances -- .''`. 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
--- Begin Message ---Dear Brian, dear fundraising team, considering that we lost all momentum working on the DC15 final report a while ago and that it's still not done, I've been given the final report concept some thought, and I'd like to propose that we get rid of the final report as we know it, assuming that this isn't going to alienate our sponsors. We've already started collecting content on the wiki, and 80% of it all is more or less done. The big final step would be to pull this into a TeX file and brush up the layout, and I personally get demotivated even thinking about that. Maybe it was a mistake to collect on the wiki and think we'd later port to TeX, at the time it sounded like the right approach. Anyway, it'll be a lot easier to just slap a nice index/table of contents onto the wiki and brush up the content a big, than to do the porting, and it would leave us more time to work on what matters more, which is DC16. Do you think that we could communicate this to the sponsors properly? I.e. say that we're trying to streamline our processes and make better use of volunteer time towards organising a conference, and that we've therefore decided to abandon the idea of "publishing" a final report and instead provide reports on the wiki, where they aren't bound to be static and are more accessible to the team as well? -- .''`. 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
