My role as DPL here is to make sure that you are never blocked on me and thus being entirely clear about "who is waiting on who" and the current tasks is more important than anything else. This does not appear to be the case right now. There have been many times when I have asked what (I thought were) sensible questions in (what I thought was) a fairly straightforward manner, but I received replies that were either incomplete, did not really address the questions at hand, or in some cases, were plain non-sequiturs. I am in no way ascribing all blame to you here — indeed, other DDs have asked me in the past to use simpler language so they can understand me better — but I feel like we are often talking past each other. This is to the detriment of each other, anyone else reading this list and, most importantly, DebConf18 itself. I think working out some kind of solution to these communication problems _now_ would be productive. Do you have any ideas? :) Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
